[Photo Friday] Tahitian Sunset on the Island of Moorea

by

Because I am feeling a little guilty about my lack of progress on completing my Tahiti/Cook Islands trip reports, I decided that this week's photo Friday would demonstrate some of the beauty I saw while staying in French Polynesia. The sunsets in French Polynesia were amazing - probably the best that I have seen in my life and definitely the best that I have … [Read more...] about [Photo Friday] Tahitian Sunset on the Island of Moorea

[Video] Snorkeling in Moorea at the Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort and Spa

by

While it took me longer than expected to start pulling together and editing the videos I shot during our trip to the Cook Islands and French Polynesia in June, I am now starting to produce and edit the videos taken during that time and will be releasing them over the next several weeks. Each video ranges from 1 to 5 minutes long and covers a variety of topics from my … [Read more...] about [Video] Snorkeling in Moorea at the Hilton Moorea Lagoon Resort and Spa

[Friday Photo] Fourth of July Fireworks in Washington, DC

In honor of our nations birthday yesterday, today's Friday photo comes from July 4th, 2010 when I had the opportunity to watch the fireworks display in Washington, DC. Now I was just getting used to my camera at the time, but I did manage to take a few cool shots along the way. If only I knew then what I do now about photography. Here is my attempt to get the Washington … [Read more...] about [Friday Photo] Fourth of July Fireworks in Washington, DC

Kia Orana from Aitutaki in the Cook Islands – Jeffsetter’s First Video Blog Post!

On a rainy day in Aitutaki in the Cook Islands, I found myself with nothing to do but try to make a video for the website. The result? A semi-professional looking video blog post that I'm hoping you enjoy! While I hope the video looks like it was easy to make, it actually did take some time and effort to get it done, especially with a slow Internet connection on an … [Read more...] about Kia Orana from Aitutaki in the Cook Islands – Jeffsetter’s First Video Blog Post!

Greetings from the Cook Islands

by

I know it has been a while since I last posted, and that is mainly due to two things: Not a lot of Internet available in the Cook Islands and a lot of relaxation taking the place of the Internet. One could say that both of these things are ideal for a vacation yet torturous for a travel blogger. It has actually felt pretty great to unplug and just enjoy my surroundings. I … [Read more...] about Greetings from the Cook Islands

Friday Photo: Don Cesar Hotel in St. Petersburg, Florida

by

I was in St. Petersburg for a wedding in April of 2011, but I didn't have any responsibility to play in the event. While everyone I knew was getting ready for the wedding, I decided to walk the beach and enjoy the 90 degree Florida weather. While walking the beach I noticed the beauty of the Don Cesar hotel, the location of the wedding later that evening. As I walked deeper … [Read more...] about Friday Photo: Don Cesar Hotel in St. Petersburg, Florida

Friday Photo: Sand Sculptures in Viña Del Mar, Chile

by

When I visited Chile in 2010, I randomly ended up in a town called Viña Del Mar for a night. While I didn't know much about the town, I knew that it was on the beach. I also know that when I visit a city that has a beach, I need to get to the water as quickly as possible. By the time I made it down to the Pacific Ocean beaches, I wasn't sure what to expect. The city of Viña … [Read more...] about Friday Photo: Sand Sculptures in Viña Del Mar, Chile
