Kauai-My Oh My😎🏖🏖

Kauai is truly heaven on earth 🌍! If you have never been, please consider traveling there in the future. It is one of the best Hawaiian Islands to visit. The views are so spectacular- it is a dream 😴. If you want just a small taste of what this island has to offer, take a look: youtube.com/shorts/Em40E-HRd_Y

The waterfalls are truly superb😃! If you have followed this blog, you know that I am indeed a waterfall chaser. I am Water Fall Chaser ESQ😂! After seeing these natural wonders for the first time on last year (up close and personal) I am indeed hooked now 😃. The experience is totally jaw dropping and you must see one to believe how majestic they truly are.

The canyons are such an amazing sight also. You will be totally blown away by the beautiful nature that is relatively untouched on this island and others. The Hawaiian Government does a great job of preserving the nature of Hawaii which makes it more and more beautiful. If you are looking to take a break from the concrete jungle of the USA mainland, look no further than Kauai – which is truly heaven on earth😃🌍!

Volcanic views for days – OMG😆

If you are ever visiting Kona, Hawaii, you have to visit the Volcano State Park to visit the only active volcano on the Hawaiian Islands, Kilauea. Located near The Volcano State Park, you will see outstanding views like these: youtube.com/shorts/cd2F9NFiLao

It is almost other worldly, seeing views like this. Most would probably think that this view would have been captured on another planet. Nope, captured exclusively on the island of Kona. It was an absolute awesome 😎 wonder to be standing there, seeing these type of views.

If you are interested in seeing what Kilauea looks like, I have captured this video in a previous blog post 😃. In order to get an up close and personal view of Kilauea, you have to fly in a helicopter 🚁 above it. On my trip, I stayed on land and captured what I could 😂. It is a small fortune to go on a helicopter excursion of Kilauea. Would be great to do this one day!

Hope that you enjoy the video above and that you have an amazing day 😃!

Hawaii Kind of Feeling😎 ☀️ 🏝

Number 1 destination on my bucket list since I was a kid was Hawaii. It did not matter which island it was, although I had heard so much about Maui, I just wanted to go. I was hopeful to someday have the opportunity to finally get there. Here is a short video of a few of the experiences that I had: youtube.com/shorts/eudThW6iJqY

This particular island is Kona aka “The Big Island”. I am hear to tell you, it is aptly named 😂. It is totally ginormous with everything that you wanted to see and more. This island, has the only active volcano 🌋 (Kilauea), in addition to beaches, mountains and waterfalls (oh my).

I know what you are thinking 🤔, all in one place? Yes indeed – and if I had not visited there for myself and saw all of these absolute wonders, I would not have believed it either. It is a place that would be in a dream, but in fact, it is very real and available to visit in reality for vacation.

Prior to vacationing in Hawaii, I was told by another traveler that there was no place quite like Hawaii, in the USA and perhaps, the world 🌎. I was so skeptical 🤨 and figured that I would reserve judgment until I visited. The Big Island 🏝 took my breath away, and you will enjoy all of the beauty and experiences also!

Dance 💃 🕺🏾Party on the High Seas😃

Nothing quite like a Carnival Cruise 🚢 Dance Party😁! No matter how many times I cruise on Carnival, the experience seems to get better and better. This particular one that I captured, will give you an idea of what I mean: youtube.com/shorts/W07A6Wr80Wo

So incredibly fun 🤩 to experience this type of entertainment with the staff getting involved in it along with the cruise guests. I often wonder how long it takes to choreograph those dance moves 😂. I would guess hours upon hours.

In any event, it was a fun time had by all. This was pre-pandemic which in my opinion, was the best time to have this type of experience. I am unsure how you accomplish something like this, in the midst of a pandemic 😷. Especially with so many people concentrated in one area.

As you can see from the video, kids of all ages are participating in the entertainment. Certainly the way things should be.😊 There is no doubt in my mind that these times will return. You can count on me to bring the sights and sounds to you. Who knows, I might even meet you there 😃😃!

For Infinity and Beyond 🤩

Lovely views are made to be shared😃! I appreciate every time that I have the opportunity to travel and see views that I have never seen before. Most trips that I have taken within the last few years, have been to tropical 🌴 locations. These trips have provided picture perfect views like this one: youtube.com/shorts/qkJuymFrSVA

It is so very lovely to be able to see this first hand. The beautiful colors of the rocks with the contrast of the beautiful water is just heavenly. Absolutely love travel from infinity and beyond 😂. This breathtaking view is courtesy of Kona, Hawaii – which I had the pleasure of visiting.

Nothing quite like waking up in a place that you have never been. Since I am more of a morning person, I particularly love the early morning sunrises and the beautiful walks along the ocean shore. I truly believe that these early morning moments provide the start to a calm, still, peaceful day😃.

Hope that you’ve enjoyed the video above and that you visit this blog, early and often, for new travel adventures!

Absolutely love the views here 🤩🙌

I absolutely love beautiful resort views.😎Quite nothing at all like it. If you are a fan of beautiful views, you might want to take a look at this one:youtube.com/shorts/wzJ7bSNTHYc

Whether you are a golf fan or not, this is truly incredible ❤️. This view was captured at the Kings’ Landing Hotel in Kona, Hawaii. The hotel itself was surrounded by so many tropical views. You could literally take pictures everywhere here.

The golf ⛳️ course is one of the best that I have seen in a paradise location. I must say that I did not, unfortunately, get a chance to play at the golf course but I would love to go back again to play a few links!

Hope that you enjoy the beautiful video. If you get a chance to visit this gorgeous place, you will have an absolute blast 💥! The Big Island of Hawaii is worth the trip😃🙌.

Paradise Found-Omg😎!

Island views are the best views, bar none! 😊 My last few vacations have been to tropical locations. Here is one of the best beaches that I have ever visited: youtube.com/shorts/4cgoEGbEgxM

Hope that you appreciate the beauty of this spectacular video. The contrast of black sand and blue water is just exceptional. Looking at this video takes me instantly back to sitting on the beach 🏖. Especially experiencing such a cool day at home on today.

This is definitely paradise and I am so glad that I found it on the Big Island of Hawaii. It was so very impressive and a must visit if you are looking for vacation options in 2022. If you are thinking of visiting the Big Island of Hawaii soon, be sure to check out other posts like these on my blog.

Morning Views from Above🤩

I love waking up to early morning views. If I am traveling, I prefer to wake up to ocean and nature views. Here is a beautiful nature view that I captured from a recent visit to a resort: youtube.com/shorts/sb0V2qhjEQw

It is absolutely “just like 🔥”😊! I love magnificent views such as these. I must admit, the well manicured golf ⛳️ greens add an extra touch to this great view. I feel that these types of views, help to get you ready for the day ahead. The peace within that you feel, makes you so glad that you took the time to travel.

Traveling opens your eyes to the beautiful world 🌎 in which we live. Of course with the omicron variant running rampant, there seem to be more cancellations than flights. Hopefully things will go back to normal sometime soon which will enable us to get on with the business of travel.

Views like the one that I captured above, makes the whole travel experience worthwhile. It is certainly time well spent, in the chaotic, ever changing world that we live in.

Left my ❤️ in San Francisco 😃!

The City by the Bay is one of the best cities that I have ever visited. I fell in love with this beautiful city when I first visited back in 2004. Since then, I have visited multiple times and even captured my last trip to this gorgeous city (albeit a short video) which gives you a taste of the fun that I have experienced: youtube.com/shorts/ViyVfkQX4TU

Most of these shots were captured on a cruise tour of the Golden Gate Bridge. The scenery was spectacular but the weather was very cold 🥶. Especially out on the water 💦. As it was famously said, “The coldest winter ever, was a summer in San Francisco” 😂.

This is so very true. If you have ever visited San Francisco, you know what I am talking about. I always bring a jacket with me because I know how the weather is in downtown San Francisco. Bundle up, you will thank me later.😃 It is very cold 🥶 near the water.

San Francisco has some of the best seafood I have ever tasted. So many great restaurants all in one place. Pier 31 is always a favorite stop of mine. I have eaten at plenty of restaurants there and they are all very good.

When you are there, you can view Alcatraz across the Bay. If you are so inclined, you can take a tour of the famous prison. I still have this on my to do list. I have heard that it is one of the best things to do in San Francisco.

Hope that you enjoy the video and will make your plans to visit San Francisco.

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!
