Beautiful Destination😎🌴😃!

Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations! This was certainly the case going through all of the travel restrictions in 2020 and waiting for that next travel adventure. Thankfully, it was Hawaii, one of the most beautiful destinations in the world 🌎. While riding as a passenger, I captured this incredible stroll along the coastline in downtown Kona, Hawaii: youtube.com/shorts/86mIOxgIlWE

If only I can see views like these every day 😂! These are views that you cannot wait to see when you get there and views you cannot wait to share once you have left. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason why you travel 😃. There are so many places to see and just so little time to see them.

This particular stroll was part of a sight seeing tour that I booked while vacationing there in Kona. This tour took you through downtown Kona, to a coffee farm (Kona has the best coffee), to a hometown bakery, a black sand beach (I have videos on my blog) and lastly the tour took us to the only active volcano on the Hawaiian Islands, Mount Kilauea.

If all that was not enough, the tour provided lunch and dinner. Pretty impressive huh 🤔? I thought so and would happily do this tour again to soak in more of the spectacular views. I highly recommend doing this tour to see all there is to Kona.

The island is truly remarkable and it has made me even more of a fan of Hawaii. Truly in a class by itself for vacations!

New Years Eve 2021: Travel Highlights 😎🙌

Final countdown to the end of the year. We are literally hours away from the start of a brand new year, 2022. No matter what we were expecting in 2021, the year in so many ways, exceeded some and fell woefully short of expectations. Here is some travel highlights from the past year: youtube.com/shorts/ycMXtiBRVw0

Hawaii was incredible and as you can tell from earlier posts, it was the best travel location by far. The gorgeous views cannot be replicated, it lays claim to its own picture perfect view of paradise. Hopefully some, if not all of you, had an opportunity to travel somewhere during the course of 2021. If not, hopefully 2022 will be a better year for travel.

Beaches are some of my favorite places to visit. All of the beaches in this video, were taken in Hawaii. I never seen a beach that I have not liked but these beaches are next level. I plan to visit another Hawaiian island on next year to experience even more of the LiveAloha experience.

Hopefully you enjoy the video above and that you will visit this blog early and often in the new year for other travel adventures! 😆

Counting Down to another year😀!

Another year is almost upon us😀! Hard to believe that 2022 is quickly coming on the horizon. We are in the final week of 2021, and as we prepare for lift off – here is a look at the International Space Station Exhibit from NASA: youtube.com/shorts/9dvMkv-DSaU

Isn’t this just so cool 😎? I enjoyed visiting this magnificent exhibit and definitely encourage you all to visit when you are able to do so safely. I have been blessed to visit multiple NASA locations and I have enjoyed all of them. You can easily spend hours upon hours visiting the beautiful, out of this world exhibits and still want to see more 😂.

I really do not have a favorite location, they are all so very interesting. Space always provides so much mystery and intrigue. We all would like to boldly go where we have never been before. Thankfully, with SpaceX and Blue Origin, we are getting to the point where space exploration is a reality for everyone.

Hope that you enjoy the video above and that you are getting prepared to lift off to a new year, 2022! 🚀😃💥

TGIF Vibes – Enjoy 😊!

TGIF- so very glad that the end of the week has come 😃! This week has been particularly busy, so it will be great to enjoy some rest and relaxation. Usually my idea of rest and relaxation is going on a trip somewhere but it is also particularly gratifying to take some time off at home. Here is a great video especially for a Friday: youtube.com/shorts/W54IrxXwpc0

Sort of gets you in a Friday type of mood, huh. I am a huge fan of Michael Jackson’s music and this is one of my favorite songs of his. Hope that you enjoyed the short video. Got a chance to see this performance in Punta Cana at the Coco Bongo Club there. As you can see, the performance was totally epic!

It is so amazing that he is one of the all-time favorites to impersonate. I have gone many places and I almost have a Michael Jackson impersonation for every location 😂! The King of Pop continues to live on from his music as well as from countless impersonations. Sort of like the King of Rock and Roll 🎸, Elvis Presley.

I hope that this Friday finds you safe, healthy and happy wherever you are. Check back early and often for more travel adventures from around the world 🌎!

Daily Dose of Vitamin Sea 🏝⛱😃!

A daily dose of Vitamin Sea can keep you happy and strong 😂. Studies have shown that it can greatly reduce burnout occurred from overworking and stress! A good vacation can certainly provide a relief from the stress and mundaneness of a typical week. Here is a video from one of my favorite places to vacation – Cozumel, Mexico: youtube.com/shorts/HhNNddSABwY

This video was taken from my beach chair as I was taking in all of the beauty that Cozumel has to offer. I can still remember some of the sights and sounds of being there. It is an incredible vacation destination that is definitely a must see. I stand amazed every time that I visit. I hope that you will add it to your bucket list for a future trip.

If you have been a follower of this blog, you have undoubtedly seen other videos from Cozumel, in addition to other places that I have had the pleasure of visiting down through the years. I plan to visit even more locations in the upcoming year so stay tuned for other adventures! 😃

Sailing the Cabo Sea 🚤 🌊

If you have never gone sailing before, it is such a wonderful experience. Before sailing ⛵️, I would avoid it because I figured that I would get sea sick 🤒. Here is a voyage that I took along the Sea of Cortez in Cabo San Lucas: youtube.com/shorts/JgOcPplWsH4

Prior to this voyage, I took my first cruise with Carnival. I packed Dramamine, a wristband (that helps avoid seasickness) and I packed the little circle bandaid type strips that are designed to go behind your ear. To my surprise, I did not get seasick but felt pretty sick because I spent money on all of these products that are designed to help prevent seasickness 😂.

Still, it is always better to be safe rather than sorry. I had a wonderful time on both the Carnival and Cabo voyage. As you can tell from the video, the weather was very beautiful and the waves were not as choppy. Truly one of the best voyages that I have been on because of the weather and the wonderful tour guide that we had on that day.

In case you are interested in booking this same tour, it can be found on the Trip Advisor site or app. It is the Cabo San Lucas Glass Bottom Boat tour and it contains a couple of hours on the sea, tour of a glass blowing factory, lunch, tequila tasting and a tour around the city of San Jose del Cabo. You will be so glad that you booked this tour – prepare to have loads of fun 🤩!

Cruise Cabin Ocean Views 😆!

If you have never seen the view of the ocean from inside a cabin room, prepare to be amazed: youtube.com/shorts/8dS_vY4-nCQ

Isn’t it just spectacular 🤩? When I saw this when I took my first cruise, I was truly amazed. Seeing the waves in the vast ocean, just blew my mind. Almost could not sleep seeing this amazing sight.

Most times when I have seen video from a cruise 🚢, I have rarely seen what the cabin rooms look like or the ocean view from within the cabin. I am glad to at least check one of these items off of the list for all of you that will view the video. I will have to look through my video archive to see if I have room pictures 😂.

The views that we see on vacation, oftentimes gets burned into our mind and this particular trip provided no exception. I hope that you enjoy the video and that you have a great week ahead!

Fans Only: Smooth Criminal Vibes😎!

Few trips that I have taken have had epic performances. This is one of the best that I have come across: youtube.com/shorts/VRywZ9G-J_A

I hope that you enjoyed this epic performance. It was so nicely done. If you have followed this blog, you already know, I am a big fan of Michael Jackson’s music.😃In particular, Smooth Criminal is one one of my personal favorites.

This performance was captured at the Coco Bongo Club in Punta Cana, which is located in the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴. One of the most beautiful places that you can travel to, highly recommend visiting. It is totally paradise on earth 🌍.

The impersonator did a fantastic job channeling the King of Pop. His music continues to live on throughout the world. Check back for more travel adventures 😎😃!

After Thanksgiving Feeling😊🙌

Hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving and a great weekend as well! 😀🙌 Not sure if you can relate to this video or not but I sure can 😂. Take a look: youtube.com/shorts/92KrMvafck8

Can you relate to this after Thanksgiving feeling? I sure can. Nothing else like the effects of a very appetizing Thanksgiving meal 🥘 and the tasty leftovers on the weekend. Sort of puts you in a very lazy mood.

This video was taken at the Houston Zoo during a recent vacation. I have never seen an animal this relaxed 😎. He is clearly relaxing and enjoying the day. Not sure how much he ate that day but maybe 🤔 it was an equivalent of a Thanksgiving dinner 😂!

As the Thanksgiving holiday comes to an end, I hope that you enjoyed your holiday and that you enjoyed the weekend in its entirety! 😀

Waterfall Chaser😎!

How I love chasing waterfalls! I am on a personal mission to see as many as I possibly can. Here is one that I saw recently that I wanted to share with you: youtube.com/shorts/OQCe3I9QvOk

Such a beautiful scene😻. Hard to believe that I got this close to one. In Akaka State Park in Hawaii, there are two: Akaka Falls (this one) and Kalua Falls. They are so incredible to see in person. You will be completely blown away by the beauty!

Before going to this park, I had never seen a waterfall before other than in videos posted online. I was determined that this would be the trip that I would have this experience. I looked up the directions from my hotel room and made the trek to boldly go where I had never gone before 😂.

What I did not realize at the time is how mountainous the Big Island of Hawaii is. As I got to higher elevations, my ears were popping and the road seemed more and more winding. When I saw the “Watch out for falling rocks” signs, uh 🙄 I got a little nervous 😬.

Thankfully 😅, I did not encounter any falling rocks 🪨 along the way but I captured some unbelievable views from within the park. It was a dream come true! 😃
