Elvis Presley expert Jeff Schrembs has put together a collection of articles on Elvis Presley's last Hawaii vacation on his blog. The vacation took place in March 1977.
Schrembs includes articles (and interview texts) from different people including Jerry Hopkins, Ed Parker, Larry Geller, Ginger Alden and others.
He begins with:

The departure date of 3rd March was set.
