At the top of my short-list dream trips – this one has been in the research stage (my travel books are worn thin) and saving stage for the past couple of years. I have burned up the ‘email’ lines as well, to most of my planned stops. I’ll have the funds by 2010 …. In theory. Or one of these days I may just say screw it and CHARGE ahead! Of course all my ‘dry’ friends think I’m nuts so I’ll be traveling on my own as usual – unless any of you lot want to join me? :-)
Anyway my dream trip…. it’s 5 -6 weeks of cultural exploration and daily diving as I work my way through Micronesia. First a few days each diving Siapan and Guam, then on to Chuuk, for several days. I’m excited to see all the WWII wrecks. Then Yap for tons of diving (Manta’s) and exploring all the islands. I want to go to the Forbidden Island. I don’t care what’s there – it’s forbidden so I must find a way to go! I want to try living ‘native’ with a local family part of the time. Then finally, I’d like to spend at least a couple weeks in Palau diving and exploring – also spending some time living with the locals.
This is only ONE of several that I have completely planned and routed out, only waiting for proper funding!
