first visitors



Our first visitors - Doug, Kelley and Davey. Friends from Antarctica, we left the ice in February and honeymooned until we left for Peace Corps in September. These three stayed in Antarctica, spending the entire winter there. They got off the ice in October and decided to spend a couple weeks in Vanuatu. We hadn't seen them or talked to them since February. During the final two weeks before going to Pentecost, we were staying in a hotel in Port Vila. We were on our way to morning training when we here someone saying Alex's name. We look up to see Doug and Kelley sitting on the computer. Without knowing we were even in country, they checked into the same hotel, in the room right beside ours. We ended up spending a lot of time with them in Vila, even taking in some tourist attractions including a waterfall and a circumnavigation of Efate Island.
