PO Box 67 Apia, Upolu, Samoa Western, 22880
Samoa, South Pacific We arrived at Apia Airport at 5am after a ten hour night flight from LA, today is a big milestone for us, Mrs F and I have been married for 25 wonderful years, I think we'll remember this special time for sure. As we walked off the plane the humid air hit us and I turned into an instantaneous water fountain! We cleared customs and emerged into a throng of taxi drivers calling out to us. We had arranged a transfer over the web with our accommodation but there was no one to...
Apia, Upolu, Samoa Western andyfreshwaterAfter a much enjoyed sleep in and a few bites of 3 day old chicken pizza (much better 3 days ago) Ky & I went shopping while Hales tended to some unfinished business. After lunch, we went & caught the taxi to sliding rock, a natural waterslide under the guise of a waterfall. All being too chicken, we opted for a paddle instead figuring that a broken back and 2 broken arms would be an inconvenience not worth the quick thrill of sliding down a rock into a not so deep rock pool. We retur...

... off the alarm again - searched again............... Jeff and the kids have got quite used to it by now!<br><br>Once on the plane we settled back, however, this plane did not have the TV screens in the back of the seats, so the children ended up sleeping for much of the journey to Apia.<br><br>We were a bit gutted that we hadn't known about the stopover as we would have liked to have ...
Apia Samoa, Samoa joparky... the bathrooms were unforgivable. I'm sure, after reading my Asia blogs, you all understand just how BAD it has to be for me (also a notorious cheap ass) to say something is unforgivable enough to move somewhere more expensive. But - it really was. ...shudder... So, the next day we moved next door and were so grateful at the sight of the bathrooms we jumped for joy. And dinner...my god!...when they set a salad in front of us we WEPT. And asked for more, piling the ...
Apia, Upolu, Samoa Western karsenault... us to realise that the boat that had been in front of us all the time was going to the island anyway. We could have all fitted in the one boat easily but for some reason that was out of question. So in the end we took two boats. Funny how the relaxed manner is infectuous and even Jules that sometimes can be a bit impatient when things don't move was smiling and waiting quite happily - it's not a bad place to wait! Namua Island is beautiful, there are only some beach fales and ...
Lalomanu, Upolu, Samoa Western johannajulien... meile vastu pidid tulema, kusagil. Passisime siis kordamööda auto juures või tegime lennujaama ees tiire ja pidasime juba plaani, et mis siis saab, kui kutte ei tulegi. Ükski kontaktiks jäetud telefoninumber ei vastanud... Nii u. 22:20 meie närvikõdi siiski lõppes ja kaks tüüpi saabusid, kaasas ka oma ehtsust tõestavad dokumendid. Andsime ilma ühegi meie-poolse kriimuta auto üle ja hingasime kergendatult. Edasi juba läks klassikaliselt ja peale paari ...
Coconut Resort, Samoa anneristo... Ble en 8 timers baattur tilbake og, men uten de store bolgene heldigvis! Neste dag, bestemte vi oss for aa komme oss ut til stranda, og tok en buss til Saleapaga. Samoanske busser er noe for seg selv, satt der i en og en halv time og horte paa julesanger paa Samoansk vis mens vi saa ut paa palmetraerne vi kjorte forbi! Motte en Amerikansk gutt, Steve, som vi reiste med resten av Samoa. Neste dag dro vi rett nedi gata til Lalomanu beach, og bodde paa Litia ...
Apia, Samoa kinemichelle... in a culture so rich and vibrant. The people are LAID-BACK, and go out of their way to make sure you are enjoying their country, which would be impossible not to. We hope to come back one day, as we have LOVED our time here, but it is now time to move on to the next stage of our journey- the Cook Islands! After 11 days there, we should have had our fix of tropical paradise, right? We are beach bums and proud of it!!! Bye for now!
Apia, Samoa Western ty.and.bonnie... whole world and stood at the end of the world. From their we headed around the rest of the island before they dropped me off at the ferry port to get the last ferry back to the main island to fly back off to Auckland. Overall my week in Samoa was just what I needed and was very relaxing. The beaches were beautiful, great weather and the people were very friendly and it was not to touristy at all which was even better.
Apia, Samoa richardcowley... Loss Regime (thanks probably to some dodgy lobster I had eaten the night before). It made for an interesting taxi ride back to Apia. So unfortunately I missed the 2 nights on the other island of Savaii at Vacations resort and Nicole had to do that section on her own. I spent three days at Heidi and Pete's recovering and checking out the Samoan Health Care system - thanks Dr Esme. (although the Hepatitis A and Typhoid comments were not appreciated).
