The Marshall Islands are one of the planet’s most remote island countries, but even within ‘remote’ one can find places even further removed from people. And Eneko Island is the perfect example. For reference the Marshall Islands are closer to Papua New Guinea than Hawaii, are slightly north of the equator and are located west of the international date line. Nonstop flights are available from Honolulu, Guam and Kiribati. Unless you live in these places, there are no other non-stop flights. Conveniently, the owners of Eneko Island also own Robert […]

One of a number of my trips to Africa was built around a singular goal – that of reaching the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro, one of the seven summits (the tallest mountains on each continent). Hint, I did reach the summit but not without overcoming hardship on the way. While not the tallest mountain on the planet and with routes that aren’t particularly technical, its summit still tops out at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet). It is the altitude that can be the most formidable challenge to overcome in reaching the […]

One certainly becomes spoiled, merely after a day or two of dining on board. With multiple options including buffet, a main dining area and several […]

I still remember those museum visits, and the one you mentioned stands out the most memorable. The […]
