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 …
My trip to the volcano got canceled. I guess the roads on Tanna are flooded. What also sucks is my ticket to the Solomons on Tuesday is for standby, so there is a chance I could be stuck here another week. If that turns out to be the case, I will certainly make the most …
I have some stable internet for the next two days. I will be off to Volcano National Park for the rest of the day and I should have a good sized update later tonight (or tomorrow morning for most of you). Tomorrow (Saturday), I’ll be up on Mouna Kea for the day looking at telescopes …
There are no things in life more serious than the internet and traveling. Put them together and you get something more serious than a heart attack in the middle of a church service. So I’m back in Sydney now where I can once again wear sandals and short and not worry about freezing. My goal …
I’m safe in Auckland. It’s dark and I’m tired, but so far I like the city. It reminds me of Toronto. I’m going to spend all day here tomorrow cleaning my clothes, getting my hair cut, and figuring out my schedule for the next two weeks. It rained all day on Rarotonga….until I borded the …
I’m off to Kiribati in a few hours, with a short stop over in Nauru. At most, I hope to get a Nauru passport stamp. I’ll be there for four days before I leave, again, for Fiji and Tuvalu. Then it’s on to Hawai’i on August 14. I hope to have my Rennell update finished …
I am NOT in Tonga. I am in Samoa. I missed the flight. I read the arrival time as the departure time. I’m off to try and salvage this at the Air New Zealand office in town.
