Here is an outline of what I’ll be doing the next few weeks: I’ll be a week on Fiji mostly diving and being a bum. From Fiji, I’ll be flying to Apia, Samoa where I’ll say for about 3 days. From there it is a bit up in the air. Apia is the only place …
The internet here is like the opposite of the Majuro. In Majuro, the infrastructure on the island was horrible, but the actual connection to the net was OK assuming you could get one. On Palau, there are internet cafes all over, but it feels as if the whole country is on the same dial-up connection. …
It has only taken months and months, but present you Podcast Episode One. [display_podcast] My plan is to release one per week on Thursday. I’ll release the iTunes link as soon as it is available.
I’m killing a few hours as I wait for the Wellington ferry in Picton and figured I’d rent some internet time. I got a lot of help from everyone before I came to New Zealand. If anyone has suggestions for what to see/do in Fiji, I’m all ears. I’ll be arriving in Fiji on June …

Thanks to my amazing immune system (seriously, I seldom get sick), most of the gross stuff on …

So, after much review, I think what I have is called Impetigo. Here is how it’s described by the Mayo Clinic website: Impetigo starts as a red sore that quickly ruptures, oozes for a few days and then forms a yellowish-brown crust that looks like honey or brown sugar. The disease is highly contagious, and …
I’m alive in Nuku’alofa, Tonga! My initial thoughts in the drive in from the airport: Like most pacific countries, it seems like there was a burst of building activities in 50s and 60s. My “hotel” tonight looks like something you’d have made on a road trip in the Kennedy administration. There were fields with crops …
