Happy birthday, Hubby !!!
This is a top pick! ... a little present and a stupid card for when he wakes up. He is a difficult man to buy presents for, let alone in Micronesia! I arrange for some stuff yesterday, limping my way around while Hubby was diving. What is the best present: diving with him! ...
Want to come diving in Chuuk ? Read this first !
This is a top pick! Today, we are leaving Chuuk for Australia. No, we are nothing going to T's family but to the other side of the country: Cairns. We did not do a lot besides diving: our land tour was cancelled because of the rain and we just could not get enough of the ...
It is a sad day ...
This is a top pick! ... for Chuuk, for the resort, for divers but specially for Jane and her almost husband. It is dark and pouring all day. Is the nature crying? Last night, Jane died. Nobody can believe it. Least of all, her husband to be. They ...
Rohi Life...
This is a top pick! Some things are easy to transcribe by note. Others remain more elusive, sensory items that look too simple when you sit and take the time. But these are the items, woven together, that create the delicate patchwork of a life. Life, as such, is no easy ...
Home.
This is a top pick! I sit around the sakau stone, watching the village men pound the pepper root into a mash with circular boulders in a rhythmic, beating mood that both puts me on edge, and settles my mind. Waiting while the mash is strained through the stripped bark of ...
Special entry for Tony's ... euh ... thing
This is a top pick! At the end of the dive, Hubby goes back into the wreck. Business as usual, quoi. About 30 meter down, he signs to me: come here. And what is there? This! . . . I cannot believe it. Although, I was a bit nervous going diving today, I just want ...
Meet Yap, above water
This is a top pick! We spent yesterday, surfing the net. We booked Palau: we are there for 8 days (exclusive the arrival and departure days) and go diving for 6 days. Unbelievable: we also booked our first 3 nights in Guam. There, also, we had to choose from second ...
2 months and counting!
This is a top pick! Long ago, 16 men and women set out in a huge canoe, looking for a new land, a place to settle. Noone knows where they came from. One day, they encountered an octopus named Latakika and began talking with him. As they told him of their journey, he turned ...
Duuuuuuuuuude
This is a top pick! The day before yesterday, we went back to the Truk Stop for diner, with Kelly. And unfortunately, it was also goodbye: she leaves tomorrow. Yesterday and today: diving! With the highlight on: Dr T's thing, as you saw on the previous entry. And a ...
Pohnpei Dreamin
This is a top pick! ... and funds. Then, back to Pohnpei for the homestretch, broken up by my dad taking a long, long trip from NYC to Micronesia to come visit me for a week in August (love you pops!!! Just remember the 6 Pack of Microbrew...mmmm, good beer, how I ...
Still do not feel well and have a lovely day !
This is a top pick! Tourista (almost) done but I wake up with a smashing head ache. Don't want to go diving like that! Hubby stays in bed too. I do not insist he goes diving on his own. The dive mast did not buddy him up yesterday. It is NOT safe to dive on your ...
About box fish and rats
This is a top pick! Pick up at 8. It is a rough ride today. The dives are nice. Hubby finds me a box fish!!! Both of the dives are more than 70 minutes! Sailing back, Dr T does not feel so well: sea too wild. I have never been seasick in my life but I feel ...
Jaws !!!
This is a top pick! Although I do like the food, I get sick at night. Yup, yup (or should I say: Yap, Yap?) the tourista! Believe me: it is NOT a good idea to go diving when you have a close relationship with the toilet bowl. Tony goes on his own and what do we see: ...
I am attacked AND bitten !
This is a top pick! Happy birthday, mummy. Nothing prepared me for today's trauma! It looks like a perfect day in paradise. With our 2 divemasters/captains, we sail to the first diving spot. Julie joins us too. She is the underwater photographer of the ...

Sunday in Rohi, Pohnpei

Yap COS and Island Life
This is a top pick! ... itself was a chance to recount stories of our island lives, and also to start thinking about the future. Some will stay in Micronesia, most will leave. But we will be forever changed by what we have experienced here in the Pacific. Yap is a beautiful ...
Back in Micronesia
This is a top pick! We fly to Chuuk today. Bye bye Guam. I did enjoy it. I would not choose for the hotel again: http://www.guamhotel.com/ In hindsight, we should have looked a bit more. The place was filthy. The hall smelled bad. Mind you: every day it had another ...
SE ASIA TAKE 4
This is a top pick! well well well......just returned to the "rock" from an amazing three weeks in SE Asia, a place that never fails to impress, even visiting for the 4th time in a few years. Indonesia to Thailand to Cambodia to Vietnam, Ankor Wat to Hill Tribes, Weekend ...
To Palau
This is a top pick! Pick-up 5h30. Airport: 05h45, where we have a loooong wait. People who arrive 2 hours later are still on time. It is a goodbye to a strange world. The check in hall is designed to be uncozy. The 'chairs' are horrible: metal benches. In front ...
The weather is Belgium is better !
This is a top pick! Since you never know what happens the next day: we do not go to the stone money bank: it is an hour's walk and it is pouring all day! So, we decide to stay home. Have a lazy day. We have to book our next destinations! Planes are booked but we ...

Chuuk diving
This is a top pick! After a day of lazing around (sitting on our terrace, enjoying the view and rest my knee, we are back to diving. Dr T has a rental mask and practices our new camera. On the macro stuff. In the dark. The wrecks are indeed, the best we saw, ever. The ...
