Hula 🌺Vibes for Good Friday!

Happy Good Friday to one and all😃! What a great Friday to be alive and what a wonderful end to another week. If you have ever visited a luau or even if you have not, you are sure to enjoy this video: youtube.com/shorts/L-s-neTrA-E

Hope that you liked this video! 😀 It was so amazing to be able to see this live and in person. The dancers were just so very talented. The great thing about visiting the beautiful island of Kauai is that they have luaus and fire shows virtually everywhere, especially since Covid restrictions are starting to get more relaxed 😎.

On this particular day, I was visiting the Coconut Marketplace in East Kauai, when I heard some beautiful music and I saw a crowd of people congregating around a stage in the center of the marketplace. Since I am very curious, I thought that I would follow the music 🎶. In doing so, I found these beautiful hula dancers and singers.

The music was so very beautiful 🤩 and of course the dancing was top notch also!😃 It was honestly just great to be outside and around other people again – mask free😃! From visiting the island 🏝, I developed more of an appreciation for the people, food and the beautiful culture!

Feel free to visit this blog, early and often for more travel adventures! Looking forward to more and more travel days ahead.

Fun at Sea – Sail Away Vibes🌴😃

Nothing quite like a party 🎉❤️‍🩹🔥! Amazing how having fun 🤩 never goes out of style 😂. If anything, we want more and more opportunities to be able to enjoy and to celebrate 🎉. Truth is, that we spend so much time doing life that we rarely stop to smell the roses 🌹 and appreciate the life that we are living. I found a quote today that says, “Never be so busy making a living that you forget to make a life”.

Indeed, life has so much more to offer than the regular mundane life of making a living, paying bills, repeat. There has to be fun found somewhere in the equation of life. Going out and seeing the rest of the world is one way to incorporate fun but just lounging on the patio, meeting with friends for dinner, having a fun weekend etc. allows the mind and body to recharge. Here is an excellent fun time that I just shared to YouTube – I hope that you enjoy: youtube.com/shorts/bsxFUjqJ9sc

Fun times indeed – I still remember it like it was yesterday😃! We had so much fun on that day that I did not want it to stop 😂. Alas, it had to and we were on our way to Costa Maya! On this cruise, we would not only visit Costa Maya but Belize and Cozumel as well.

Hope that you enjoy the video and most importantly, stop 🛑 to smell the roses 🌹 that you earned and deserve😃😃!

Aloha Vibes for the Weekend 😎🌸🏝!

Nothing like beautiful vibes and views for the weekend!😎 No doubt, the premier way to spend a weekend is going to a place that you have never been or going to a familiar place that you have been before. One of the best trips that I have taken was visiting the island of Kauai. If you peruse the articles of my blog, you will definitely see countless videos about Hawaii amongst other beautiful locations and countries. Here is a great video of one of the absolute best places that you can visit while you are visiting the island of Kauai: youtube.com/shorts/ZoTMr10urZs

This magnificent location was captured on the beautiful property where the Smith’s Luau was held. It was an absolute dream place to visit, as you can tell from the video. This view is the epitome of why people take vacations. Certainly a perfect way to spend a weekend or any other day during the week.

This property consists of acres and acres of pure fun 🤩! Almost wish that I could have just stayed at a hotel there to be able to explore that grounds a lot more. The place even has an amphitheater and a trolley 🚎 😂. Gives you an idea of just how vast this property is! Whenever you visit Kauai, make this place a must visit! 😃

Waterfall Chaser 😃💦💦🏝

Who doesn’t like chasing waterfalls? Until I visited Hawaii recently, I did not know how much I would love ❤️ chasing waterfalls😃! They are so majestic and the sounds are so relaxing 😎. Waterfalls are absolutely one of the beautiful wonders of nature. Getting outside and chasing waterfalls really gives me a rush. Here is a beautiful video of Akaka Falls, located in the the Akaka Falls State Park: youtube.com/shorts/0dVk-xZ_t-k

I hope that you enjoyed the video😃! I am hoping that you enjoy it enough that you are considering even going to see it for yourself🙌. Once you visit one, you cannot wait to go visit another. As I captured this video, my mouth was wide open the entire time, 😳 in total disbelief of what I was seeing.

Imagine observing a giant that is standing in front of you. It is thousands of feet tall and just massive😀. You feel like an ant 🐜 compared to the size of the giant. That is pretty much how you feel in the presence of one of these awesome wonders. It also makes you realize that there are beautiful things in this world 🌎 that leaves you speechless at the time and makes you a storyteller from then on. I look forward to seeing more things as I cover the earth 🌍 before it covers me.

Please follow this blog for more adventures😃! I love to travel and share unbelievable content with everyone. Who knows, maybe sometime along the way, I will encourage you all to work, vacation and repeat also 🙌

Hawaii Pool Vibes😎🏝🌸🏝!

I absolutely love pools and what could be better than pool vibes in Hawaii!😎This resort was just what the doctor ordered. This resort is called the Sheraton Coconut Beach Resort in Kauai. Love the great vibrations that I was feeling here: I have attached a short video to provide an idea of the beautiful vibes that this hotel had ti offer: youtube.com/shorts/CzPVeJFOaCU

Who would not want to stay here? It is absolutely beautiful and you can tell, from the video, that folks were having an extremely great time!😎 Pool and Beach views at this hotel were all just next level. When I travel, it is always my goal to boldly go, where I have not gone before – just like Star Trek!

If you are thinking of visiting Kauai in the near future, this is most certainly your place to stay. Surrounding areas have all of the shops and restaurants that you would want to see, in addition to experiencing a lot of the tourist locations and learning about the Hawaiian 🌺 culture.

From the video, you can see that this place is an absolute dream 😴. The amenities are top notch and the landscape is meticulously manicured in and around the hotel. You will definitely be glad that you visited this gorgeous hotel. Make sure to check the ratings to make sure that it meets your expectations!

Living My Best Life😎🌺⛵️⛵️!

Living my best life is always the goal ! Traveling to exciting places and seeing a whole new world 🌎, makes living life worthwhile 😀. After visiting one location, I look forward to visiting another, soon thereafter! Here is just a glimpse of the fun that I had: youtube.com/shorts/tU3-ynUbwjY

As you can tell, these families were having a total blast 💥! I was enjoying all of the whale 🐳 and dolphin 🐬 watching. This was a cruise of a lifetime. I have never been on a more exciting cruise 🚢 in my life.

This is the first time I had been on a whale and dolphin watching cruise. It was just totally amazing 🤩! I have been on many cruises before (check out my blog to see more) 😂, but this cruise 🚢 was absolutely superb.

Kauai can be characterized as just superb also 😀. Trust me, if you visit this beautiful location, you will not want to go home 😂. I wanted to become a resident after visiting for less than a week. It is such an easy going place, the main highway has a speed limit of 25 miles per hour 😂. Cannot get any more easy going than that!

All Aboard to Adventure😃🔥❤️❤️!

Cruising always for a great time 😃! All aboard to great adventures always 😃! Here is a video that I captured of a cruise ship preparing to set sail: youtube.com/shorts/ESXUthxPMEc

I could feel the excitement in the air as I walked by! I had just disembarked my sunset cruise 🚢 of the Na Pali Coast when I walked past this ship. When you decide to go on a cruise in Hawaii, you will see incredibly awesome views! These views will take your breath away and you will be left speechless 😶.

Those folks was in for an incredible time. I almost wanted to shout that out to them as I was headed back to my car 😂. Figured that they would find that out very soon 😂.

If you would like to see a few of the views that I captured while sailing ⛵️ the Na Pali Coast, feel free to peruse my blog where you will see incredible views while I was out at sea 🌊. Would definitely do this cruise again and look forward to setting sail again in the near future.

Living on the Edge😎🏖🌴🌴!

Living on the edge has never felt better 😀! Taking a trip to an unbelievable place is definitely rewarding and provides a respite from normal life. I have attached a link to a video that was captured from onboard a catamaran as the crew and I are sailing ⛵️ along the coast of Kauai: youtube.com/shorts/hfCorsdWvIk

It just so happened to be a beautiful day and a spectacular one for sailing ⛵️. Even during an almost 6 hour tour, it just did not seem long enough. Just wanted to experience more whale 🐳 and dolphin 🐬 watching, in addition to taking in more views and vibes of the ocean and mountains from the boat 🛥 tour.

It has been said that you only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough. There is lot of truth in that statement. You only get one chance at life without the ability to do it over again. Vacation always reminds me of the importance of stopping to smell the roses 🌹, as you walk the path of life.

Attempting to get to the edge of the catamaran was tricky, because all of the water made the deck slippery. Thankfully 😅 I did not get dangerously close to the edge to capture the views. My goal on vacation, is to make sure that all the fun 🤩 is accomplished without the danger ⛔️ 😂. Arrive alive and leave better than you came!

Hope that you enjoy the video and that you will plan to vacation here or somewhere else this year. Especially with things looking a whole lot better on the travel front from a Covid 19 perspective 😀! Happy sails and trails 😎🙌👋!

Just Cruising-Hawaii Style😎🌴🌴🌊!

Nothing like cruising on a catamaran- soaking in all of nature’s beautiful views😎! The more exotic the location, the more impressive the views are. If you have followed this blog for some time, you realize that cruising is one of my favorite pass times 😂. By far, this has been one of the best cruises that I have ever taken: youtube.com/shorts/bd7PHD-f9cE

This video is so incredible 😍! I enjoyed this whole experience to the fullest. The experience was one that I will never forget. Hope that you enjoy it and that you will book this excursion should you ever vacation in Kauai.

After having visited the Big Island of Hawaii on last year, I was thoroughly impressed! As I am writing this blog post now, I am still impressed. The combination of waterfalls, beaches, mountains (skiing takes place there – unbelievable) and the only active volcano on the Hawaiian 🌺 islands (Kilauea), is hard to beat on any island.

Kauai blew all of my expectations out of the water 💦. It was such a relaxing trip and the views are second to none 🤩! The otherworldly views are like none that I have ever seen. It is no wonder that Jurassic Park movies were filmed here. I feel like I need to watch each of them again to see all the beautiful scenery that I can now name after seeing the island on vacation.

Hope that you will make your plans to visit Kauai in the near future and that you will visit this blog, early and often, for more travel adventures😎!

Sailing on the Na Pali Coast😎⛵️🏝☀️!

Until visiting Kauai this month, I had never been on a subset catamaran tour. Full disclosure, I had never been on a catamaran ever 😂! I have seen rich celebrities, on tv, aboard these but have never had the experience. If you ever sail on one of these boats, the best views are in the front. You can see why, by viewing this video: youtube.com/shorts/cFN1IrzTijQ

Spectacular views indeed and I am thankful for the experience! Part of traveling for me, is trying something new. That being said, I am not afraid to open myself up to brand new experiences. I was greatly rewarded for my courage because the Na Pali Sunset Cruise in Kauai was just what the doctor ordered.😃

It was by far the best cruise that I have taken to date. If you have followed this blog, you know how much of a cruiser I am. I could possibly work for the cruise industry at this point in time 😂. I truly love being on the water 💦 as often as possible. In fact, most of the excursions, on trips that I have taken, involved water in some way, shape or form.

This particular excursion, as the name implies, is 6 hour in duration and one of the only ways to view the Na Pali Coast. On land, it would take forever, by air, it would be expensive etc. Seeing the dolphins and whales are worth the price of the tour alone! The bonus views are the mountains that looks like you’re in Jurassic Park and the beautiful water 💦.

Hope that you enjoy the video and will make your plans to go to Kauai and take this tour! You will thank me later 😃🙌
