The Beauty of the Pacific Islands

The Pacific Islands, which include the Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Republic of Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, and others, are some of the most beautiful places in the world to visit. Each of them contains its own unique qualities.

In Papua, New Guinea, for example, it’s not impossible to see indigenous people who still practice cannibalism. Most of them are in very remote areas, however, so don’t worry about just walking up on someone doing this.

If this is a little too weird for your taste, visit the island of Fiji, which played a huge role in the mutiny that occurred on the British ship “Bounty.” It was the desire of Christian Fletcher, and others of his crew, to remain on this literal tropical paradise that led him taking over the ship and setting Captain Bligh and his supporters adrift.

The island of Vanuatu was the recent setting for the TV series “Survivor.” If you’re like many people, this may have been the first time you had even heard of this island, or at least thought about it since you studied world history in middle or high school.

The island of Samoa is known for its very large men, some of whom have come to the United States to play college and professional sports. When you see these hulking bruisers standing next to “average size” players, you may wonder what exactly is in theSamoanair that grows them so big.

There are lots of resources that you can utilize to plan your trip to any of the Pacific Islands. They can give you information on travel arrangements, hotel accommodations, and things to see. Those of you who live in baltimore condominiums will have many exciting stories to share with your friends.
