It's time!!!! did somebody say $50,000 for a 7day vacation for me and 5 friends?

lol, #dreemsteem just went VIP with that spending cash 😍 yeah babe it's time to spend that dreem cash celebrity style 🏖🗽🚁🛥

🤔 Okay so first things first got to find me the PERFECT travel companions on this trip. Originally was going to bring along my sist, a cousin, and three of my close friends 💕💕 but later decided to go on a bonding trip with a couple of hives who have been super awesome and deserving of a vacation 'yeah I know I'm nice 😁 '

So I decided it was gonna be me with @Sunnyag @zara09 @khaleesii who I promised to take on my next trip 👌and @nening & @humbledwriter who deserve a break from all the hard work they do on hive daily.

@sunnyag "where are we going?"

Me. "It's a surprise 😉 "

@sunnyag. "Come on tell me"

@khaleesii. " doesn't matter, it's a paid vacation 💃💃 just enjoy the journey because I plan to"

Me. "So are we in agreement? do you all trust me to make these seven days the best?'

I watched the gang gaze at each other, some still anxious, others already hyped and one still unsure.
But when I got the unanimous YES from everyone it was time to set out for the vacation of a lifetime.

We arrived at the Entebbe International Airport where we were met by our guard and driver Godwin.

From the airport, we headed towards the Lake Mburo National Park while enjoying the scenery along the way.

Godwin told us more about our planned 4-day pearl of Africa Tour and a concise breakdown of Lake Mburo National park which we found was the smallest of Uganda's Savannah national parks and home to over 350 spices of birds 🐦 and other animals like buffalos, hyenas, hippopotamuses, zebra, impala, oribi and loads of other nature buddies 🤩

We arrived at the Mburo Eagles Nest where I got us 2 safari tent doubles with triples beds full option which comes with meals included lol you know how in love I am with my breakfast included in every accommodation 🤫 , one of the tents was for the guys, and the other for the ladies.

Dinner was a party as we enjoyed the delicious dinner with wine before everyone retired for the night.

Everyone got up early because Godwin would be picking us up by 7 am to go for a drive in the park, breakfast was delicious but rushed because we were all eager to get our tour started.

The ride was amazing, we got to see some buffalo and some antelopes 🦒

We got back to the hotel at about 10 am where we checked out before we headed for the "Bwindi Impenetrable " which was the next stop in our tour of amazing Uganda.

The Bwindi Impenetrable is a habitat for mountain gorillas 🦍 and the wow factor?, this particular habitat is home to more than 300 Mountain gorillas which we were told is almost half the world's population of mountain gorillas 💯 too cool.

We checked into the "Broadbill Forest Camp" where we had dinner before retiring early for the night to prepare for our morning of gorilla trekking 👣

Point to note: A certain someone ➡ @humbledwriter was getting cold feet at this point 🤣 and wanted to skip the morning trek but unfortunately for him, he got outvoted by the entire group 😇 "we are so doing this together even if it kills us..................... Lol hopefully not!!!.

𝘋𝘈𝘠 𝘛𝘏𝘙𝘌𝘌
We had a light breakfast before Godwin picked us up for our trek.

If there was one thing to be said about Bwindi it will be the fact that it was beautiful!!!.

During our trek, we came across a group of gorillas which we stopped to watch interact with one in a natural setting and everyone was completely blown away 🤗🤗🤗 wait was those tears I just saw in @nening eyes?.

We went back to the lodge where we checked out to start on our journey to Lake Bunyonyi.

We checked in for the night at Lake Bunyonyi Rock Resort and spent the night at the 5 bedroom rock bungalow, you know we are doing this one big!!! That's 💸 talking baby 😎

We had our final breakfast in Uganda the next morning while enjoying the awesome view of the little islands of Bunyonyi.

We started back to the airport but made a stopover for lunch and before you knew it, it was time to bid goodbye to beautiful Uganda 🇺🇬

Noticed no one was asking this time where we were headed next 😉 see how I inspire trust 😁

The flight was 3 hours long and we arrived at our next location by 1 pm.

_ Random person "lol how is that even possible? the flight from Uganda to Hawaii is 22hours long"

_ Me. "If I say it took 3hours to get from Uganda to Hawaii then that's what happened, I was there so I should know 🤥🤥🤥 plus don't forget in #Dreemworld ANYTHING is possible.

We arrived in Hawaii and headed straight to Oahu where I had booked us the oceanfront suite at the Prince Waikiki Hotel, Honolulu.

We all went to the spa before dinner to soothe those kinks out of the muscles " nothing is gonna stop us from enjoying the best of Oahu, not even sour muscles 💆‍♀️" before we all retired for the night.

For our first day, I had booked a private yacht tour #stillVIPing on a glass-bottom yacht where we got to see an overview of the island as well as the north shore beaches while watching sea creatures swim to and fro at our feet 😍😍😍

Image this view at your feet while you're sitting on a touring yacht sipping a glass of red wine 😉 one of the best parts of the trip for me.

Where we visited the Dole Plantation where we went on the pineapple express tour, plantation garden tour, and the pineapple garden maze.

Dole plantation

Got to see the workings of the plantation and over 20 varieties of pineapples from all over the world 🙉 "𝘴𝘰 man𝘺 𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦".

🤔🤔🤔 that reminds me, whatever happened to the complimentary pineapples we got before leaving the plantation?????

Hanauma bay Oahu

From the plantation, we headed off to Hanauma Bay where we had lunch and relaxed by the beach before doing a bit of snorkeling.

Later that evening, we went to the Polynesian cultural center where we each got the luan package that included dinner, music, and watched the live fire and knife performances.

The diamond head monument is a volcanic tuff cone which is located in Oahu and the tour was an hour hike- walk to the top.

Oahu Hawaii

Foodie bike tour of Honolulu which was a 3hour guarded bike tour to some of the best foodie locations around Oahu 🍛🍝🥗🥙 now this is more my speed, let's get to testing.

The next morning we headed to the airport to catch the connecting flight to our final destination on this SUPER trip.

Las Vegas

𝘏𝘌𝘓𝘓𝘖 𝘓A𝘚 𝘝𝘌𝘎𝘈𝘚
We arrived in Las Vegas by 2 pm so first, we went shopping

"Needed to equip the team with the right uniforms before our take over of Las Vegas"

Source

We went to the Kamu karaoke and got the VIP suite 🔥

Source

Fine so I will admit singing isn't for everyone 🥴 besides @zara09 and @nening who killed it on the mick with some concert-worthy singing #groupiealart

the rest of us???? Well imagine the sound a drowning frog would make?, multiple that by 4 🤣🤣🤣 but it was so much fun and by the time we left the Kamu karaoke everyone had some huge smiles on their face.

For our final stop, we headed to the casino 🎰 "who comes to Las Vegas without trying their luck at the table?"

Source

And because I am such a sweetheart, everyone got $1000 spending cash 🏧

@sunnyag headed straight for the baccarat table

Source

while @zara09 choose blackjack

Source

and @humbledwriter decided to try his luck at Roulette.

Source

The girls and I decided to give the slot 🎰 a try but after a few games we realized it was best to just give up as we kept losing game after game, I'm telling you those machines are doctored 🤫

Source

@khaleesii @nening and I decided to go downstairs and check out the night club leaving the guys to their games.

Source

Hitting the dance floor is one thing having killer moves is a different story and @khaleesii owned that floor, that girl can dance 💃💃💃

Source

The guys joined us a few hours later and we found that @sunnyag had won big at the baccarat table + $2700 🥳🥳🥳

@Zara09 had found love with the bottle girl who was waiting at the table he played 👫

and @humbledwriter admitted gambling wasn't his thing lol that's $1000 burnt out 🤣🤣🤣

Since It was almost time to leave I ordered a bottle of crystal rose champagne 🍾

Source

and we toasted to an amazing 7-day long vacation, to beautiful memories made and friendships formed 🤗
