Highlights from Samoa

Our vacation from the vacation: March 8th - 17th.
  • We visited 2 islands in Western Samoa: Savaii and Upolu.
  • Our accommodation consisted of beach huts, called fales, over the water or beachside.
  • We swam and snorkeled in the warm turquoise waters.
  • We rented a car (with another couple we met along the way) and drove around Savaii and saw how the locals live, explored the lava fields, and saw the blow holes at high tide.
  • Spent a lot of hours in the hammock, reading and enjoying the beautiful scenery.
  • It took a 4 hour bus ride, where we were crammed in with the locals (typically 4 people per bus bench) to the south side of Upolo where we enjoyed 2 wonderful days on a sand beach.

Ah, I guess we didn't mention where we are currently --- we're on a California road trip, seeing all the family and friends we can before we settle back to Portland. We're in San Diego today, headed back North tomorrow and plan to have an apartment settled for us by the end of the week - we hope. Hope to see most everyone very soon.
