HOLY FUD! :exclaim: :exclaim: :eek:

Those pics are amazing... Pro quality. Now, more details please. What was your itinerary? Who was your travel agent? Did you take a tour? Which tour group? Etc etc. I want to go!!!!

That's a Blue Derasa? I haven't seen one before. Only seen Yellow.

That is just awesome..!! Great job on the pics!!

P.S. Tony do you still have your Ritt?

Yup, still do.. 4 years now :eek: :exclaim:

How about a pic update? (In its own thread of course... :biggrin: )

We didn't use a travel agent, I managed to do it all off the net. AirCanada from Van. to Hong Kong, Thai Air to Taipei, and FAT Airlines (Far Eastern Asian Transport) from Taipei to Palau. It would be shorter if you went Air Canada to Seoul then FAT to Palau. I think the only booking agent for FAT Air is gobundle.com in California. If you need a contact there let me know, they were a great help.
We stayed at Carolines Resort up on the hill behind the Palau Pacific Resort. You get to use all the facilities at PPR as well and some of the best snorkeling was just off their beach.
I decided to go with Sam's Tours and they were great. They will even rent you a kayak and camping gear and drop you off out in the Rock Islands.
They handle diving, snorkeling, photography, land tours, fishing, kayaks, whatever.

Leave yourself lot's of time to make arrangements they are on "island time" and email and internet goes down once in a while.
If you need anymore info let me know.

Hey, thanks for the info and the links. I'm going to check them out now.

How long did you stay and how much do you think it cost? You can PM me if that info is too personal.

Did you book your flight tickets directly with the airline's website?

I guess some other options would be:
Vancouver->Taipei->Palau or
Vancouver->Manila->Palau

Oh, I just found this website:

As for Carolines resort, did you get a package from the Tour Operator? I guess it would be cheaper to get a package than to get the tour and accomodation separately.

Well, change of plan. Looks like it'll be Turks & Caicos Islands for me. But thanks for all the info for Palau. It is now on my list of Islands to visit in the future.
