From the late 1980s to the mid-1990s, the author traveled extensively in Micronesia on travel-writing assignments. Most of the articles included in this book were first published in a Pacific-area in-flight magazine during that time period. This book recalls the author’s travels in Yap, Palau, Guahan (Guam), the Northern Marianas, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and the Marshall Islands, as well as a visit to the atolls of Ulithi, Satowan, and Pingelap, and a visit to the island of Kosrae.
