Rapa Nui

Lorana!

Rapa Nui is also known as Easter Island and Isla de Pascua. It is actually a territory of Chile. I didn't know that. It is 2,000 miles from its closest neighbors, Chile and Tahiti. "Lorana" is the traditional greeting in the Polynesian language Rapa Nui, though Chilean Spanish is the official language.

The Moai are amazing.



Why do these stone guardians circle the island?


What are they watching for?

Vacations

Vacations are necessary.


They are not necessarily affordable.


It is important to regroup,
re-affirm,and re-energize.

Living in a world where there is an information superhighway makes armchair vacations easier and more exciting than ever. Moreover, thanks to Hubble's imagery, the sky is no longer the limit.
There is so much to explore. I want to see it all.

This is how I plan to do it.
One imaginary trip at a time.
