Carnival Cruise Playground ๐Ÿ˜ƒ!

Nothing like taking a Carnival Cruise ๐Ÿšข ๐Ÿ˜ƒ. If you have taken one, you already know ๐Ÿ˜‚. If you have not, what are you waiting on? You will enjoy the experience and so will your kids. Here is one of the activities that your kids are sure to enjoy: youtube.com/shorts/3qUDvdixYfY

Isn’t this exciting? Those kids are having a lot of fun ๐Ÿคฉ. They are making memories that will last them a lifetime. So much fun ๐Ÿคฉ!

Negril Jamaica Diving๐Ÿ˜„!

Nothing like hanging out at Rick’s Cafe ๐Ÿ˜ƒ! There is definitely not another travel bar quite like Rick’s. I saw many people diving at Rick’s on that day and this particular dive was one for the ages: youtube.com/shorts/nWh-mSv_DUU

This guy was doing dives all day that day – form various heights. I am hoping to chronicle more dives when I travel to Negril again. It was quite an experience to see in person and I definitely recommend you doing it when you go to travel to Negril.

Na Pali Sunset Cruise๐Ÿ˜ƒ!

There is nothing like sailing โ›ต๏ธ the Na Pali Coast๐Ÿ˜ƒ! I assure you that you have never seen views quite like these. When I have shared photos and videos from this location, I have instantly gotten feedback on the contrast between the beautiful blue waters and the magnificent mountains ๐Ÿ˜ƒ. It is absolutely one of the most beautiful sights in the world to see. If there was an 8th Wonder of the World ๐ŸŒŽ- the Na Pali Coast would be it ๐Ÿ˜‚! Don’t believe me – just watch: youtube.com/shorts/fK1NNx_rDVA

It is as advertised – as you can see for yourself โค๏ธโค๏ธ! I instantly fell in love with Kauai, and these views are why๐Ÿ˜ƒ. I did some research before going on the excursion but it did not adequately prepare me for the views that I saw on this day.

As beautiful as the video is, nothing beats seeing this for yourself ๐Ÿ˜! You will be astonished and amazed all at the same time ๐Ÿ˜‚. Might be even flabbergasted also! If I was heading back to Kauai soon, this would be the first excursion that I do. Anything this beautiful, is worth doing again and I plan to do exactly that๐Ÿ˜„!

Carnival Cruise Vibes ๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธโค๏ธ!

Who doesn’t like a great cruise ? Especially if it is on a great cruise line like Carnival, Royal Caribbean etc. It took a while for me to go on my first cruise, but since that time – I am definitely hooked. This is a great reason why ๐Ÿ˜ƒ:youtube.com/shorts/GfxqGNtVvLQ

Each of the cruises that I have taken has taken me places that I have never been before. When you travel, you really get a chance to see how small your world is, compared to a much larger world that needs to be explored. I am beginning more and more to appreciate any of the adventures that I have been blessed to take because it has made me so much more well rounded.

Cruises are perhaps the best way, in my opinion, to travel. It seems expensive at first until you start adding in the other way to travel, which includes airfare, hotel, food etc. Cruise ships are all inclusive experiences – food, logging and even drinks (not alcohol but you can purchase a drink package) are included in the one price.

Cruise operators (Carnival etc.) also give you the ability to pay over time for your cruise experience. The particular cruise that the video references above was to the Western Caribbean. It was such a great experience – which you can see in the video. You are sure to leave amazed and enthusiastic about going on another experience!

Sailing the Na Pali Coast๐Ÿ˜!

Sailing the Na Pali Coast was amazing ๐Ÿ˜! Could not believe the beautiful ocean and mountain views that I was able to see. You can only imagine how beautiful it would be to see an amazing view like this: youtube.com/shorts/DomiO6dmcm8

This view was so incredible, right there from aboard the catamaran. From traveling along with me (virtually), I try to capture every beautiful view that I see ๐Ÿ˜ƒ. As you can see from the video above, I really had my hands full ๐Ÿ˜‚. The Na Pali Sunset Cruise is one that you cannot miss when visiting the beautiful island of Kauai.

As I mentioned before, and it is definitely worth mentioning now, the Na Pali Coast Sunset Cruise can be booked from the Trip Advisor website (TripAdvisor.com). They also have an app to make it even more convenient ๐Ÿ˜‚. It is my go to for traveling and I certainly recommend it to you also. I read the reviews before booking this excursion and people absolutely loved itโค๏ธ!

If you love views like the one captured in the above video, do yourself a favor and head to Kauai for a much needed vacation. You will be so glad that you did! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Carnival Cruise Sail Away Vibes๐Ÿ˜Ž

Sailing is a relaxing experience ๐Ÿ˜ƒSo relaxing that if you do it once, you will want to do it again. It is certainly an incredible experience that you are sure to enjoy. My experience sailing/cruising has been, up to this point, on Carnival. Carnival does an excellent job of keeping you relaxed and keeping you engaged during your entire voyage. Here is just a snippet of the fun vibes that you are sure to enjoy during your voyage: youtube.com/shorts/UVWuWfXKuW8

So very fun and very entertaining at the same time. Could not believe my eyes when I got on the ship ๐Ÿšข but I quickly realized that this first sail away entertainment, was just preparing me for the fun that would come everyday during the cruise experience.

It was a lot of fun, to say the least. There is something for kids of all ages to do. Really the only thing that you will manage is your time to do everything there is to offer. Cruising is totally next level and you will leave the experience, leaps and bounds better than you started it!

So if you have been on the fence about taking a cruise for 2023 – this is absolutely your sign to do so. Cruises are taking new voyages and the sooner that you book, the cheaper it will be ๐Ÿ˜ƒ!

Forever Summer Vibes๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿโ˜€๏ธ!

Who says summer has to end ๐Ÿ˜ƒ? Summer seems to last forever in tropical locations. Tropical locations provide an excellent way to get away from the seasonal weather that we have grown used to. Of course, with climate change, we have seen the extreme temperatures which have wreaked havoc on our world. Experts tend to think that climate change will be with us for the foreseeable future. Thank God for the many tropical ๐Ÿ  ๐Ÿlocations that travelers can visit to get away. Here is one located on the beautiful island of Jamaica: youtube.com/shorts/nGJ84DJBqo0

The name of the resort is the Hilton Rose Hall. It is a beautiful hotel and I highly recommend it. It is all inclusive and the amenities and entertainment is top notch๐Ÿ˜ƒ! What you are viewing in the video above is the waterpark that is located on the resortโค๏ธ! I spent so many hours relaxing in the pool and observing all of the beautiful views. I even rode a few of the water rides in the park. You will most definitely enjoy ๐Ÿ˜Š visiting this wonderful hotel ๐Ÿจ.

Add Jamaica to your bucket list ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š! It is a world ๐ŸŒŽ of fun not a world away. Jamaica will leave you speechless and will make you a story teller, all at the same time ๐Ÿ˜ƒ!

Whale Watching on the Na Pali Coast๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜Žโค๏ธ๐Ÿ™Œ!

If you have never gone whale watching before, I encourage you to take a fantastic voyage to do so. ๐Ÿ˜Ž My first whale watching trip was to the Na Pali Coat in Kauai Hawaii. Here is a clip from that experience: youtube.com/shorts/ty5SqH96cCA

Doesn’t the view look incredible? I had so much fun during this entire trip. It was such a wonderful time. As you can see in the video, the kids were having fun and so were the parents. The water was such a magnificent blue. There was nothing quite like being out on the water and feeling the nice breeze.

During this trip, we saw our share of whales and dolphins. Both are such magnificent creatures. Before the trip, I had never experienced this type of excursion. I had been on my share of cruises ๐Ÿšข, but whale watching is totally next level. Actually look forward to my next whale watching trip! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Jamaica Pool Views – Wow ๐Ÿคฉ!

With August coming to an end and the majority of kids going back to school, the official end of Summer (Labor Day) is coming fast. For only the 2nd time in my life, I visited, by far one of my best islands ever, Jamaica ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ฒ! If you have not visited this beautiful island ๐Ÿ, it is a must see for the bucket ๐Ÿชฃ list๐Ÿ˜Š! Here is just a glimpse of the views that you can expect from this magnificent place: youtube.com/shorts/1BlUEEiyNds

The hotel that I stayed in is called the Hilton Rose Hall๐Ÿ˜Ž! If you are a long time follower of this blog, you are so very familiar with the beauty of this hotel ๐Ÿจ. It is easily one of the best that Montego Bay has to offer. I was impressed when I initially visited this hotel back in 1999 and was even more impressed visiting this hotel this year.

Unlike the first time visiting this hotel, I was not given an ocean front room. They are booked very quickly – so they went fast! So I did not know what to expect when I got a non ocean front view. Needless to say, I was so pleasantly surprised๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ™Œ! I had a view of this beautiful pool (in the video) and a view of the outside entertainment each night. I could not have asked for a better room to stayโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน!

Whether you squeeze in that last trip this summer or if you are planning a vacation for next year, I definitely recommend visiting the phenomenal island of Jamaica ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ฒ. The views are incredibly gorgeous and the excursions will take your breath away๐Ÿ˜Š!

Kalahari Resorts Texas Fun ๐Ÿคฉ

Kalahari’s Waterpark is so very exciting! I had an opportunity to visit and it was an absolute blast ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ˜ƒ! This is the place where summer lasts forever, especially since it is an indoor water park! Here is a glimpse of the great fun that you will have here: youtube.com/shorts/OsNAoq2ELgs

Such an absolute great time that he is having ๐Ÿ˜ƒ! Fun ๐Ÿคฉ is something that all of us could use, especially during these times. Chances are, you have a Kalahari Resort near you. They seem to be scattered around the country. An absolute great alternative to Disney and Universal Studios but just smaller.

Trust me, you will have a great time here and pay half of the price of the bigger Parks๐Ÿ˜ƒ!
