Day 30, Feb 3. heading west to American Samoa

-

  About 2/3 of the way between French Polynesia and American Samoa


Toni got Rob to crafts today and made a lizard/gecko key chains




Alfredo's Pizza today for lunch



Today's Goofy Golf was a straighter hole but you had to get a hole in one with three tries.  Neither Rob or Toni got a hole in one but both were close.


Another enrichment talk this afternoon but the night was rainy and cloudy so we didn't go outside on the top deck for stargazing.



We weren't excited about the menu in the Main Dining Room so skipped that and went to the buffet.

With a quick look at the weather at home, can't complain about our weather.


So a slow today.  Tomorrow, American Samoa

Day 31 American Samoa

American Samoa  Pago Pago Bay is one of the most dramatic harbors in the South Pacific, a region known for dramatic landscapes. Eons ago, the massive seaward wall of a volcano collapsed and the sea poured in. Today, dramatic mountain peaks encircle the deep harbor. The capital of American Samoa, Pago Pago is more village than city. The town is dominated by looming Mt. Pioa, whose summit draws moisture-bearing clouds, earning it the nickname of "The Rainmaker." Indeed, Pago Pago draws more than its fair share of rain - the island of Tutuila is a vision of deep, verdant green. Pronounced "Pango Pango," this island paradise awaits exploration. American Samoa is a US Territory and its citizens are US Nationals, not US Citizens. Home to the only US National Park in the Southern Hemisphere (below the equator). Far out view showing many islands in the area American Samoa and Samoa are two different sets of islands. American Samoa is on one side of the International Datelin...
