I’m writing in Suva, Fiji. I got in at 6:30am and a day added with my 5th crossing of the dateline on my trip. I spent the morning driving to Suva and am writing at what is, by far, the nicest internet cafe I’ve encountered on my trip. Tomorrow moring I’ll get to the Kiribati …
This is going to have to be quick. I’m on an internet terminal that takes coins. I’m in Port Campbell, Victoria right now on the Great Ocean Road. The big attraction here are the Twelve Apostels, which are erosion formation on the coast. I have photos I wanted to get up, but that isn’t going …
I’m leaving Broome today. I have a 6-7 hour drive to Port Headland where I’ll stay overnight before I head to Exmouth. Almost the entire coast between here and Port Headland is beach. It is known as 80 Mile Beach, which is an understatement because it is much longer than 80 miles. If you look …
First, the airport here has free wireless internet. Even if it wasn’t a nice airport (which it is) that alone would make it the best airport in the Pacific. Once again, the French are the biggest sticklers at Immigration check in. I’m off to find a place to stay (yeah, I don’t have that yet. …

My visa application at the Kiribati embassy went smoothly. I got it done in under one hour. Believe it not, it was the first visa I’ve applied for. (I decided to not apply to China in Samoa. I’m going to apply when I’m closer to China and know my itinerary better.) I visited the University …
The Solomons isn’t turning out like Vanuatu….thank God. I got my flight to Rennell Island booked which worried me. i had read that it was usually booked. Likewise, my flights out of Honoria all the way to Hawaii should be fine with minimal sitting around time. I should be in Honolulu on August 14th and …
I haven’t had an internet connection this week and I’m currently on a dial up, so this will be short. Micronesia has been one of the highlights of my trip so far. I’ve been living in grass shacks, eating fruit off the trees, diving, hiking in the rainforest and living life like it was a …
This is gonna be quick. I’ll have a much larger post coming tomorrow. I got to play professional underwater photographer yesterday. I’ve probably learned more about photography than I have in the last year. I got three dives in and took about 200 photos. I got to use my camera, my lens, my everything…..underwater. I …
