We are thinking about Yap and Palau for our next big trip.  Any suggestions,
warnings?

No but on a more important note...If your ever going through Orlando
International........Once you clear security, you have two tubes to take
you to your gate.  Look to see which one left last (outgoing).  With that
discerned, knowing which one is inbound, get to the closest door on the
inbound (furthest from the front of the car, closest to the back)  When the
door opens you can sit down at the back of the car, before everyone else
figues out what's going on.

If you're going to Yap or Palau via Orlando, you've got much bigger
things to worry about than where to sit on the tram.

You've obviously never had to deal with the Orlando tubes a.shole.

You're not allowed to bring the stone money discs home in your carry
on luggage...

That's a mighty broad query.  Maybe you could narrow it down some if you
have specific concerns.  Here's a few:

Suggestions:  Do a liveaboard in Palau to maximize dive time.

Warnings:  The ancient stone paths around/between villages in Yap can get
mighty slippery.

We are just beginning the search.

We will probablly go for 2-3 weeks.  Seems like a liveaboard is the ticket
for Palau.  We may do land in Yap, and maybe on tover to Truk/Chukk, if we
have time.

Thanks for the info on Orlando, however, hopefully we won't have to go that
direction, we are leaving from Phoenix.  I am guessing to LA, maybe Hawaii,
Guam to Palau

Darn, and I really wanted some BIG money.  Those photos are pretty kool.  I
think I would have to put them on a barge to get them back to states.  It
probably would be easier to make my own here   ;-)
