The main activity we liked to do was walk up and down the main street to see what all the locals were up to. The street was always bustling with trucks, motorbikes and taxis carrying people and construction equipment to and fro. The kids would line the streets to get high fives all day long.

We loved our memorable time on Bikendrik in the Marshall Islands. We felt at home and like instant family while staying on the private island with private accommodations. We were lucky enough to be the only ones staying here during our time and we will always remember this place with fond memories.

Micronesia definitely gave us a taste for what life could be like on a remote island! We stayed on the island of Pohnpei, which is home to the archeological site of Nan Madol which was the capital of the Saudeleur dynasty. The original name was Soun Nan-leng, "Reef of Heaven" - and also sometimes referred to as the 8th wonder of the world.

Palau

Palau is a grouping of 500 or more islands located either a: 6 hour flight south from Japan, a 8 hour flight north from Australia, or a 12 hour flight west from Hawaii. Outside of the islands is just more water and more mini islands. Not a large tourist destination, we enjoyed mostly having the island to ourselves and got to embrace the peace and quiet. The main activity is diving, of which we dove 5 times in only 2 days. That’s intense! The infamous Blue Corner was the main dive attraction, and after a bit of uncertainty, we were able to finally make it happen.
