rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author grybow - Flying into Ta'u was a piece of cake. The plane only took two-thirds of the runway which was fenced eliminating most causes of surprise. Our host was waiting for us in the parking area with a truck and we recognized him as a fellow passenger from our...

Mon, 4 Dec 2000 22:55:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author grybow - Our trip to Oloseage was most uneventful. We simply loaded our suitcases into Tau's truck on Ofu, drove down the road passed the runway and through the National Park, over the forty-yard, one way bridge between islands and down the short stretch of...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author grybow - One day on Tutuila was enough to convince my wife and I to search elsewhere for the Samoan culture. When I first became interested in American Samoa, I had contacted the American Samoan National Park: NPSA_Administrator@nps.gov They had indicated the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author gpatters - We lived in American Samoa, and would love to return one day soon to see the changes that have occurred over the years. In the middle 70s, we spent two years there on a government contract. My husband worked at LBJ Tropical Medical Center. Those two...

trvl-Dest-South Pacific-American Samoa: Island paradise
