Kalahari Summer Adventure ๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ!

Hello September ๐Ÿ˜! August went by so incredibly fast, I feel as though my head is spinning ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ. I feel optimistic about every new month and look forward to more and more adventures that the month is sure to bring. Kalahari Resorts is a favorite of mine, any month and any season. The resort itself is spectacular but Kalahari itself is known for its magnificent indoor water park which you can check out here: youtube.com/shorts/3wprjIW36eA

With the water park being indoors, you can have this great experience, year round๐Ÿ˜ƒ! Trust me, there is something for everyone at this phenomenal place. Both for the kids and the kids at heart โค๏ธ! In addition to the water park, there is an enormous arcade called TomFoolery, that is second to none. You will spend countless of hours in the arcade and the water park. When you are done, you can then experience the beautiful, lush accommodations of the resort itself.

Hope that you will make your plans to experience Kalahari for yourself ๐Ÿ˜ƒ! With the official end of summer coming closer and closer, outdoor water parks will be closing. Thankfully you can still feel the beautiful summer vibes, all year round!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

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!

Summer Cool At Kalahari๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ™Œโค๏ธ!

If you have never visited a Kalahari Resorts Hotel and Waterpark, there is still time to do so. The great thing about this water park is that it is indoors๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ™Œ! Yes, you read it right, indoor water park- totally climate controlled. At Kalahari, there is a ride called the FlowRider. Here is a clip of the fun that you will have when riding this ride: youtube.com/shorts/XR-TFp1ZG1M

He is absolutely having fun ๐Ÿคฉ in this video! This is one of the best rides in the water park. It was absolute fun the entire time that I was there. Kalahari is absolutely one of the best kept secrets. If you happen to be near one, I encourage you to visit and stay a few days. The water park is amazing and so are the hotel accommodations.

Kalahari is an amazing place to vacation especially if you happen to have kids! When I visited, there were kids galore everywhere you looked. ๐Ÿ˜ƒThe resort located in Round Rock is just phenomenal. It actually opened in November 2020, during the pandemic, so it is relatively new and perfect for spending an adventure filled weekend๐Ÿคฉ!

Viva Na Pali๐Ÿ˜Žโ›ต๏ธ๐ŸŒบ!

I have been to a lot of places, visited quite a bit of countries and done a lot of things๐Ÿ˜Š while traveling. I regard visiting the Na Pali Coast as the #1 most beautiful trips that that I have ever taken. The views were just breathtaking and left you speechless ๐Ÿ˜ถ. You are left in awe and wonder when looking at the magnificent blue water with the incredible backdrop of mountainous terrain. It is no wonder in my mind, why a famous travel quote was penned, “Travel leaves you speechless and you become a storyteller at the same time”. Here is one of the views that I experienced while on this voyage: youtube.com/shorts/ZAJOY2-j4Ik

Isn’t it just lovely? If you can believe it, this was just the start of the trip ๐Ÿ˜‚. There were so many more sights to see and they were even more incredible than this one. If you are curious, I invite you to explore some previous posts that I have wrote about on this blog. I was in shock and awe when I set sail and started to see how incredibly beautiful the views were.

I have often heard it mentioned that sometimes we are so busy making a living that we forget to make a life. I truly believe in this and I challenge myself to be more about making a life. Life is so much more worth living when you have some enjoyment (travel or otherwise) interwoven in the fabric of day to day life. This trip was a fantastic way that I chose to make a life and have a new experience. I sincerely cannot wait to return to Kauai and take this magnificent voyage again! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Cruising the Na Pali Coast โ›ต๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜!

Cruising is such a great experience ๐Ÿ˜ƒ! Hard to explain how cool it is, it must absolutely be experienced๐Ÿ˜Ž. Here is a great cruise experience that I had: youtube.com/shorts/tYGLYg3gfAc

Look how close I was to the waves ๐ŸŒŠ! They are such a beautiful blue. I love looking at the contrast between the blue waves and the mountains ๐Ÿ” out in the horizon. If you visit Kauai, Hawaii – I would definitely recommend taking a tour of the Na Pali Coast. It has recently been rated as one of the top 5 most beautiful coasts in the world ๐ŸŒŽ.

If you are wondering the name of the tour that I took, it is the Na Pali Coast Sunset Cruise Tour๐Ÿ˜ƒ. This tour can be booked through Trip Advisor. It is also very reasonable. They do have a no money ๐Ÿ’ฐ back policy, so once you book, you will have to make sure that you will not miss the cruise. Otherwise, do not book this excursion.

Hope that you are having a great day and that you enjoyed the video. Stay tuned for future adventures! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Carnival Cruise Dance ๐Ÿ’ƒ Party ๐ŸŽŠ๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽ‰

No party quite like a Carnival Party because the Carnival Party don’t stop ๐Ÿ›‘! The sail away parties for Carnival Cruises are epic๐Ÿ˜ƒ. There are so many videos of these parties online and the more you watch them, the more you want to be a part of them. Here is a video of one that I was able to be a part of: youtube.com/shorts/rOnKtNBGfyA

This is just pure unadulterated fun ๐Ÿคฉ! This is exactly what you can expect when sailing away on a Carnival Cruise. This particular video was captured prior to the pandemic ๐Ÿ˜ท, so things may have changed quite a bit when you set sail. These were certainly great times and the good news is that the cruise ships are still sailing.

With the arrival of August, it is now time for back to school. If you have some time before the kids go back to school or if you don’t have kids but have some vacation time, I certainly encourage you to consider going on a cruise. The industry has taken a severe hit during the pandemic, so they are offering all sorts of deals right now.

I used to think that I could never be able to afford a cruise but the cruise lines are offering some of the best travel deals around. The advantage is that you see more exotic locations all at once instead of flying individually to each location. The downside of cruising is that you have a limited amount of time to see everything. So there are indeed trade offs but rest assured, anytime away from work, whether by sea or air, is time well spent ๐Ÿ˜‚!

Cruising into the Weekend๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ๐Ÿ›ฅ!

Cruising on the weekend is a great past time๐Ÿ˜Š! Actually, cruising anytime, any day is a great day out. Here is an excellent video of a recent cruise that was simply magnificent ๐Ÿ˜: youtube.com/shorts/_SGzDq-ofLM

Hope that you enjoyed the the beautiful video! Picture perfect view of the wonderful Kauai coastline๐Ÿ˜Š! If heaven were a place on earth ๐ŸŒ, it would absolutely be this place. The views were incredibly jaw dropping and it greatly exceeded my personal expectations!

Kauai is no doubt one of the best kept secrets of the Hawaiian ๐ŸŒบ Islands. Actually had I known how beautiful it is, I would have taken this trip a heckuva lot sooner. The best thing about this wonderful world of ours, is that there are so many other beautiful parts of the world ๐ŸŒŽ.

I plan to visit as many of these locations as possible๐Ÿ˜Š. The possibilities are endless and from following so many of other travelers on social media, I have an exhaustive bucket list of travel locations that I plan to visit. I invite you all to develop a bucket list of travel locations, and start visiting as soon as possible- provided that these locations are safe to travel to.

Fire Show Vibes๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜

Who doesn’t love a good show? I absolutely do and if it just so happens to have fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ thrown in – count me in ๐Ÿ˜‚!Here is an excellent fire show that displayed next level skill and abilities that I know that I do not have ๐Ÿ˜‚ : youtube.com/shorts/1p2ptJ97jsc

Her skills are just amazing ๐Ÿคฉ and I am sure that it took so much time to perfect. This video was taken in Kauai Hawaii and it was magnificent๐Ÿ˜ƒ. I had never seen a magic show before so truthfully, I did not know what to expect. I was completely blown away.

This fire show happened just a few hours after I got off of the plane โœˆ๏ธ, so I immediately knew that I was in for a great time while I was there. Kauai continued to amaze and I was totally blown away from the experience.

If you are interested in additional footage from the fire show, please feel free to look for previous blog posts on this blog. You will be astonished and amazed by the wonderful skill.

Waterfall Wednesday๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŒบโค๏ธโค๏ธ!

Chasing waterfalls is a passion of mine ๐Ÿ˜‚! I saw my first waterfall and I have been hooked on waterfalls ever since. In fact, this video shows the first waterfall (Kahuna Falls) that I have ever hiked to and it is a beauty: youtube.com/shorts/Osa-p5p4fA0

Hope that you enjoyed the video๐Ÿ˜ƒ! As you can tell from the video, it was not a very sunny day ๐Ÿ˜‚. Actually it was raining ๐ŸŒง a lot on that day, so it was a wet hike to Kahuna Falls. Thankfully the hike wasn’t very far. I parked on the outside of the park, paid the fee and entered the park. The place where this waterfall is located is called the Akaka State Park located in Hilo, Hawaii.

Hilo is located on the Big Island ๐Ÿ of Hawaii. From my hotel ๐Ÿจ, it took about an hour and 30 minutes ๐Ÿ˜€to get to Akaka Falls State Park. It was so well worth the drive๐Ÿ˜ƒ! It was such an incredible experience and certainly one that I definitely recommend to any tourist visiting the island.

If you love waterfalls and would love to see one on an excursion, I suggest seeking out waterfalls that may be close to where you live, or take a trip, like I did, to see one for yourself ๐Ÿ˜Ž. I am a believer of exploring the world ๐ŸŒŽ and all of its beauty. Waterfalls are certainly unlike anything else on earth ๐ŸŒ!
