Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Samoa

Hey fellow travelers!
First time using Thorn Tree....will be in Samoa from Jan 2-12 2009 - anyone going to be
there same time willing to get in touch? Thought it'd be nice to know some people
Will stay in Apia (Aggie Grey's?), also rent a car, drive round island, stay on South
Coast, etc...my plans are open!
I'm British, female, 49 but great shape (slim/fit), live in Los Angeles.
thanks for reading!

I'll be on Ofu in the Manu'a islands December 26 through January 8. You're welcomed to come over and hang out. It's much quieter in Manu'a.

I'll have a cold Vailima waiting for you. ;-)

Terry---Yes, I for one would love to stay at that place you always mention. But you have to let the OP Mirandas know that it is in American Samoa, not (Western) Samoa, where she will be staying. So it's a boat or plane trip from Apia to Pago Pago, then a flight to Ofu from there. Then she has to do it all in reverse to catch her flight home. Not sure it's a great idea when she only has ten days. But definitely worth checking out!

Hey Raro,

I guess I generally assume someone who's visiting that neck of the woods also know the islands like I do. My bad. ;-)

How about you come out to Ofu and hang out? My Vailima offer stands for you too!

Thanks! I will take you up on that some time, but may not be for a couple of years or so!
