Palau At Last

Tuesday, March 8th, 2005

Arrived Saturday after 30 hours on the road. After recovering from trip I have spent my time doing research updating information and enjoying the beauty of Palau. Have not been in the water yet, but will be next week. The Palau Visitors Authority has been very helpful, supplying me with udated lodging information and help in scheduling trips to the outer islands. It looks like I will be able to visit at least three of the outlying islands (Kayangel, Angaur and Peleliu). Prices are quite reasonable for groceries and meals. I miss my scooter from Rarotonga, no public transportation. Went to happy hour at the Storyboard Bar & Grille on Monday night, no descent rum on the island but lot’s of good beer San Miguel from Philippines and Japanese beer. Will update this column over the weekend after I do something or go somewhere.

Survivor Palau

Saturday, January 15th, 2005

If you are like me and view little US television, you may not know that this seasons television show Survivor takes place in Palau. While I consider this to be a mixed blessing, as it will expose Palau to a host of people that have never heard of it, the programs concept and perspective are a bit warped. You can visit CBS Television’s website at href=”http://www.cbs.com/ for a preview. I hope all this exposure does not overexpose Palau and it’s limited infrastructure. But who am I to complain, perhaps they will need guidebooks?
