The South Pacific Islands from Maui to Samoa

Well I just had the adventure of a lifetime, went to Maui for my usual relaxed vacation.  My good friend Dana, her sisters and her mom where there staying at the Grand Wailea, where I used to stay and found the perfect beach chair, along with 2,000 feet of slides.  It was a blast to be with Dana at the beach in Maui.  She loves it more than I do.  My friends in Maui welcomed me with barbeques, beach fun, paddle boarding, laughter, beach yoga, champagne, beach brunch and I met some new friends too.  Since some friends who have been sailing across the South Pacific invited me on their boat, I flew down to Samoa to meet them.  They were able to anchor there boat in Forbidden Bay, Fagusa.  No boat had been anchored there in 15 years.  The chief hosted us for dinner, gave us gifts, all while his sons fanned us.  I was hoping for a pedicure.  The next day, we took the chief to another side of his village, Massacre Day.  He hadn’t been there in 15 years and no one had lived there since 1965.  All that one could see was the sapphire blue water, palm trees, coconuts, coral and lava rocks.  To me this was truly paradise.  The people of American Samoa are the kindest, most polite, intelligent, wonderful people that I’ve ever met.  It was like Heaven.  Considering the water was 85 degrees and sapphire blue, maybe it was.
