About Me

My photo
Welcome to the online blog for traveler/writer/photographer Steven Barber. Come in. Relax. Take off your shoes and socks -- or any other article of clothing, this is the internet. Have a look around. I hope to intrigue, amuse, entertain, and maybe provoke you just a little. I love to find adventure. All I need is a change of clothes, my Nikon, an open mind and a strong cup of coffee.

Pic of the Day: Elvis' Blue Hawaii


If you're a fan of Elvis Presley you've probably already recognized the Coco Palms Resort in the town of Wailua, Kauai. The canoe at the bottom is a reconstruction of the one which ferried Elvis and his bride Joan Blackman on a music-filled journey through the lagoon.

The hotel was badly damaged by Hurricane Iniki in 1992. A subsequent fire and years of neglect threatened the property with being torn down, but rumor is it is going to be refurbished and reopened as a Hyatt sometime in 2018.
