Return to American Samoa

About 14 years ago, I used to travel annually to American Samoa to audit the local power company, spending about 6 weeks a year here. I have many fond memories, including the great house we used sitting on beach, which because the Samoan's thought it was haunted did not want it. Well we drove by and as it was no longer being used by the audit firm it has since sat abandoned. The Samoan's are very superstitious people.

The trip to Samoa from Suvarov was miserable, repayment I guess for having so much fun in Suvarov. We had high winds (30+ knots for 18 hours) and very confused seas, reaching as high as 15 feet. Basically, any activity other sitting or laying down AND holding on was out of the question. The galley served up cereal or ramen noodles. A tough 3 days, Isabelle announced that we are selling Nikita in New Zealand and buying a house.
