Divers Paradise



Palau is considered a divers paradise and some say should be the 8th wonder of the world. It features coral reefs, blue holes, wartime wrecks and hidden caves to name a few. It also has a huge array of coral, fish, and rare sea creatures. There are also some enigmas in Palau such as giant clams that weigh a quarter of a ton, and a lake full of 21 million soft white, stingless jellyfish. It is easy to assimilate in Palau becasue the official language is English and Palauan, the currency used is the U.S. dollar, and the electricity is the same as the U.S.
I have been fortunate enough to travel to Palau once before but there is so much to see underwater that no dive you do in Palau is ever the same. So, I am looking forward to going back on what is probably going to be my last real dive trip (2 tanks a day for 6 days) for a while before starting a family. I have the best hubby ever! :) I will miss him and the dogs soooo much!!

Charlie and I are leaving on the April 2nd and returning to the U.S. on April 13 our itinerary to Palau looks like this:

LAX to Honolulu
Honolulu to Guam
Guam to Yap
Yap to Palau
