Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea

Hi there!
Am going to Fiji & will be spending half my time on the islands where there aren't any atm's.

Thanks!

Hi,

Following advice on TT (thanks, Laszlo and others), I will fly in to Tanna (from AKL)
for 5 days in the beginning of November. Haven't been nearby that part of the world before,
so I would appreciate any assistance with the basics:

1. Accommodation: any recommendations? I understand from this thread that

My husband and I are planning to go to New Zealand for our honeymoon. We have to fly through Nadi, so I thought spending a week or so there might be fun.

Hello,

Today I picked up my Papua New Guinea tourist visa at the High Commission in Kuala Lumpur and would just like to update anyone who’s interested in doing the same.
