Stargazing is spectacular from 5000 feet onwards. No need to go to Mauna Kea 13000 feet and risk headache etc; there are other locations. I could clearly see Milky Way. Incredible night sky.
Botanical garden was a surprise. Manta ray snorkel at 9pm was beyond expectations . Saddle rock 1.5hr drive was super. Hottest tip- there is a Costco there and great delis in grocery stores. In general restaurants are nothing great and overpriced . Lava rock is nice bar with activities and food, but you are not there for that. Just make your own sandwiches and byob.
I laughed out loud beginning @2:21 of your video! I can only imagine the people reactions to driving on the streets of my island of Dominica 🇩🇲. I'm from Dominica 🇩🇲 living in California. Even I get scared when I used to ride the busses on our streets. But our island drivers they know how to maneuver this mountainous island streets. Okay I will continue listen.😀😃😄😁
Very informative, thank you. Perhaps you can help me with a clarification. Purchased Allianz insurance when I got my airline ticket with Delta airlines. Would you recommend getting additional coverage?
I’m just leaving this gorgeous island today… This is how I imagine the Garden of Eden.. Just beautiful and untouched my man.. Just mind blowing and breathtaking..❤️
Temecula is on your list? Pfft…Temecula sucks!! It’s hot af there and it’s basically a desert. And the traffic and lines….I highly recommend you don’t WASTE your time there. And most of the areas on your list are mainstream everyday crowded areas that I usually avoid at all costs.
Thank you for this. I hope others have the same experience as you. Arrogant people with bad attitudes and their vocal complaining can really sour a trip and it’s the main reason we don’t book cruises or resorts. We’re planning a weekend in Dominica next year! I want to go to the Boiling lake!!!!
I am from the UK like your podcast would you live there if its that great and would would you suggest that would make the island even more attractive to visitors
Wow. Great presentation! Stumbled across your video researching a trip to the Big Island starting next week. Great primer. Many thanks for your hard work ... and will follow your suggestions! Am excited to go ...

I filed a claim with Princess Travel Insurance, which is AON, six months ago, and am still waiting for payment. The claim was for $379.00. I am preparing to just eat it. I give up on them.
I see this is 4 years old, but I just found you!!! I am looking to do a cruise with a girlfriend next June 2025. We will fly into Athens, do a 10 day cruise then leave from Rome. We want to spend around 4 days at each place before and after the cruise. Any suggestions on lodging? Airfare, since it's not round trip. Any tricks to get a first class plane ticket cheaper? Any advise at all would be helpful 🙂
I hope Dominica can resist the tide of popularity in expect to sweep over this beautiful place. As the word gets out about Dominica because of whale watching, natural beauty, and the wonderful people. 60 recently had a feature on their sperm whale preserve. Cruise ships are increasingly docking with thousands of guests. I know the Dominican people need to use all their resources to enhance the island’s standard of living. But after our very short cruise stop, I want to go back for a longer stay. I really want to explore this beautiful place. At the same time, I don’t want Dominica to change from the hidden gem that it is. It’s tourists like me whose first thought is generally of their comfort and convenience that are a curse and an asset. I hope it can somehow minimize the former and maximize the later. I can only hope.
Things that I’ve done on Catalina Island, that no tourist knows about: 1. Disconnecting the lights to my Honda 70 and riding the horse trails on a full moon night. 2. Riding a Big Wheel from the summit down to Avalon, on a full moon night. 3. Riding a CZ 125 down Front Street at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve. 4. Driving Golf Balls off of Three Palms Point, into Lover’s Cove, while the Glass Bottom Boat floats below. 5. Sneaking Beer into the Casino Movie Theater. 6. Worked at Lloyd’s and cooked TONS of Salt Water Taffy. 7. Climbed the Mt. Orizaba tower on a cold, foggy winter’s night. 8. Climbed too many hills that were dangerous, due to the brittle shale rock. 9. Ordered all the ingredients to make super black powder, water proof PVC pipe bombs. 10. Played drums for an Islander Rock Band… there’s more, but I think you get the drift… 😀
@@Eaglejake because the neighborhood is Hawaiian Homelands (kind of like reservation) the last thing we want is one of the very few spots that don’t have tourist to be a tourist hot spot…we’re already the minority as Hawaiians, in a place called HAWAI‘I Buuut you probably just think we’re stupid Hawaiians and are probably an entitled haole based on your comments
I cried when you explained borrow a pup. All shelters should think about this. I love animals more than people for so many valid reasons; this would top off my trip.
You say that travel cards don't offer enough benefits but are you aware of the Chase Sapphire Preferred Credit Card travel benefits? Delayed baggage ($100 per day up to 5 days), lost luggage ($3,000), Emergency Evacuation ($100,000), Travel Accident ($100k to $1M), trip delay reimbursement ($500), Trip cancellation/interruption ($20,000), Emergency Medical and Dental ($2500) and Medical and Legal referral assistance. The medical might be a bit on the low side depending on the country but that is the only benefit I beef up with extra coverage. It's pretty comprehensive.
