South Pacific Odyssey
We shall see how this trip goes since it had a few missteps up to its lead. I had long wanted to visit some of the Pacific Island nations that might disappear with global climate change. I wasn't sure the trip would happen since the options for getting around are limited....and expensive. After checking out some flights, I found that Fiji as a hub was possibly doable. I played around a bit more and pieced together a trip to several island nations and a week in Sydney visiting my last tour roommate Suzanne.
