Paradise Found – Black Sand Beach 🏖 😎🏖

If you have never seen a black sand beach before, take a look at this beauty: youtube.com/shorts/DuYuHBMULK8

I love the great contrast between the sand and the blue water😃. What a spectacular day it was to be there also. I was particularly grateful on this day because on my previous visit to this beach, it was raining cats and dogs 😂. I had no other choice but to leave because the weather was so bad.

On my trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, I was looking forward to having this experience. I could not wait to experience this for myself. The sand was so cool to the touch, if it was possible to take some of the sand back to me, I would have, just as a great souvenir!

After going to my first black sand beach, I am now looking for opportunities to go to other black sand beaches! They are so beautiful and an awesome wonder. I will need to visit the Big Island again to see if I can visit a green sand beach 🏖. Imagine how cool that would be!

Fun Zoo Vibes 🦁🐅🐻!

Lions, tigers and bears – oh my 😀! How I love the zoo. It does not matter where it is, I always find myself going to the zoo as a part of my travel experience😀If you have not been in a while or even if you have, check out this video, you will enjoy it: youtube.com/shorts/_-SQBhiflss

Pretty cool vibes 😎. I had to capture this moment, the giraffe and ostriches were just having too much fun 🤩. You rarely see these type of moments when you are visiting the zoo. They all found a fun way to pass the time.

Animals are just so amazing anyways. The more you are around them, the more that you understand that they are a lot like humans. I am an animal lover and love to see all sorts of animals, whether at zoos, on safaris, you name it.

Hope that you enjoyed the video😊. You will see a few of these videos sprinkled here and there on this blog. Variety, after all, is the spice of life 😂.

Beautiful Garden Views❤️😊

I love beautiful landscapes as well as amazing destinations. When I visited Waikoloa Village, this is a glimpse of what I saw: youtube.com/shorts/ePkyt7Voyc8

It is a wonderful place for sure to visit. Would you believe that this view was captured at the Hilton Waikoloa Village? It is truly amazing for sure. I cannot wait to go back there. These views are extraordinary as well as other views that I captured at the hotel. There were so many views that I captured while traveling around the Big Island.

From my positive experience, I am looking for additional trips to other islands of Hawaii. If you have seen any of my previous posts, you know all too well that I really enjoyed my time there. It was a definite dream come true and I was so thankful to have the chance to visit. Hope that you will have an opportunity to visit as well!😀

Weekend Paradise😎🏝🦈

Who doesn’t love a weekend paradise? Everyone does because it provides a break from the mundane. Any day that you can spend time away from it all, is time well spent 😆. Here is one of my favorite weekend getaways: youtube.com/shorts/nbUi5W-jxV0

This video was taken from the balcony of my hotel room at the Hilton Los Cabos resort. What a view this is. One of my best that I have captured. I love beautiful beaches, in fact, when I am looking at where to go for vacation, 9 out of 10 times, I will choose a tropical location.

I used to visit amusement parks for vacation. I quickly found out that this is not a great idea. I came back home more tired than when I left 😂. I had to quickly redefine my expectations of what a vacation should be.

First and foremost, it should be relaxing 😎. Next, I have to experience the location that I am visiting via tours, beach life, and other excursions. This place provided so many amenities and access to excursions via the concierge desk. During this trip, I went sailing along the Sea of Cortez, camel back riding and zip lining.

Find your beach and go😎. You will be so glad that you did 😆

Daily Dose of Vitamin Sea 🌊 😎!

Vitamin Sea helps me be me!😀Nothing else like it for sure. If you cannot be near it 24/7, memories of being near the ocean adequately suffices 😂. Here is a video of cruising near the coast of the Big Island 🏝 of Hawaii: youtube.com/shorts/026Ud8YYfF4

That water is a perfect color of blue. It is so very inviting. There are times that I wish I can teleport to different parts of the world 🌎. Maybe this technology will exist one of these days but in the meantime, imagination will do.

This particular video was captured in the downtown area of the Big Island. Down in this area of town is where the Iron Man Competition is held. Competitors also train in this area of town. Pretty cool huh 🤔?

As you can see, this was a picture perfect day to be out and about. I was living out a childhood dream that I had so many years ago to set foot on the island of Hawaii. I was certainly not disappointed and I look forward to visiting more Hawaiian Islands as I continue my travels.

Mood for a New Week 😊

Nature views are some of the best views that you can observe. A mix of nature views and lush golf greens make for a beautiful video that I captured recently: youtube.com/shorts/e2wfbPKZ5ac

Lovely views indeed 😊! This was the view from my bedroom window this past weekend at a luxury resort. This is the best part of waking up wherever you may be 😂. This is why you travel, to see views that are not a part of your everyday reality.

Whenever I travel, in addition to wanting the window seat for views, I also am fairly picky when it comes to windows views from my hotel room. That is certainly not to say that I have had the best views all of the time. I have seen my fair share of dumpsters, alleys etc. 😂 but the best views have come from the absolute best locations.

The video above shows one of those best locations that I plan to visit again. The more views, the better – whether from your hotel balcony or while walking on the grounds of the hotel.

Hope that you enjoy the video and regularly check this blog for future updates

Easy Vibes for the Weekend😃!

Happy weekend to you! Made it through another week to see a magnificent day. I wanted to share a magnificent day that I had on a black sand beach in Hawaii called Punalu’u beach. If you have never seen a black sand beach before or even if you have, take a look at this beautiful one: youtube.com/shorts/CTDX2HnDhlk

Before visiting on this day, I had never seen a black sand beach. I had heard about them but have never set foot on one. As you can see, it is very beautiful 😻. Furthermore, the sand is so cool to touch unlike white sand beaches which tend to be hot as the temperature rises outside.

This particular day was not sunny but overcast. This turned out to be the calm before the storm because within a few minutes, the rain 🌧 poured down in buckets 😂. I had actually planned on visiting Mount Kilauea, about 40 minutes away, but due to the rainstorm, I decided to head back to the hotel.

I look forward to visiting this beautiful , beach again in the future but until then I will hang on to these magnificent memories. Hope that you enjoy the video! 😀

Lovely Views from Costa Maya🤩!

Before going on a Carnival Cruise to Costa Maya, I had never heard of Costa Maya 😂. I heard of Cabo, Cozumel, Cancun etc. but never Costa Maya. I am so glad that I visited this beautiful place. The video that I am about to share was captured on the deck of a Carnival Cruise before I was about to disembark the ship to go onshore: youtube.com/shorts/j9lcWJh513I

From this video, you can clearly see how colossal cruise ships really are. They are massive 😃! You are looking at a Royal Caribbean cruise liner🚢 and a much smaller boat. This still wows me that these ginormous cruise ships are able to float on the water. Seems like with the phenomenal weight of the ship, it should not be able to do so.

The water is such a perfect shade of blue😃. I have not seen such blue water 💦 in my previous travels. Almost want to dive in for a swim 🏊‍♀️.

As part of my excursion in Costa Maya, I visited the Lost Mayan Kingdom Water Park. This was such a cool place to visit. I will share more videos that I captured while in the park in later posts. It is an absolute must see for sure. If your travels include a visit to Costa Maya, it is well worth a visit!

Havana Vibes

Nothing like experiencing the peace and calmness that the early morning brings. There is perhaps not a better time to hear the sounds of the rushing waters of the beach 🏖 or to hear the birds chirping at dawn. I captured one of these type of mornings here in this video: youtube.com/shorts/6o08AMJH0-o

Every morning should start like this 😂. Maybe this will be the reality for me during retirement but in the meantime, I am glad to have captured this poolside moment. This moment was captured around 6:30am one beautiful morning during my vacation. As you can see, I was the only one there so it was a perfect time to capture the stillness of the day.

If you have followed this blog, you realize that I really, really love tropical destinations 😎❤️🙌! This has been the best shot that I have ever taken in a tropical 🌴 location! I am definitely in awe from this video each time I watch it.

I hope that you enjoy this video and that you will check this blog for other travel adventures in the near future!

Shivers from 30,000 feet😀!

Being 30,000 feet in the air, still somehow, gives me the shivers 😂! I have been traveling by plane for 23+ years but it still has that affect on me. Here is a beautiful sky view from that elevation : https://youtube.com/shorts/WcN2quP35vc?feature=share

Nothing like the beauty of the sky that provides such a sense of awe. Flying has become my second best mode of transportation. I love it and I love having the window seat to observe these type of views. As I mentioned in a previous post, due to the pandemic, I no longer take these views for granted. When the world came to a screeching halt on last year, I miss seeing these type of views.

I have made a personal vow to myself that I will see more of the world. No matter how much you have seen of it, you want to see even more. I long to cover the earth before it covers me 😂. A lot of cool places still to explore and I plan on doing it.

If you were wondering where in the world this video was captured, it was captured above the great state of Texas. Texas is located below those clouds ☁️. Hope that you enjoy these sky vibes and that you have a great day!
