New Countries to Explore
I need a rush, life is a little boring, this is a bad time to go to Africa for me, therefore I have made up my mind I will go south towards Brunei, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Australia and maybe New Zealand. New Zealand.

I am trying to find a cheap path, whereby the Visas are easy enough and not donating all my money to the airlines.

I have been to Malaysia, Indonesia and Timor, trying to find all the countries in this map that make sense on this trip.

I need to get close to a well travel Aussie and learn the money lowdown on how to travel to these Oceania Countries cheap. I think the Caribbean may be cheaper because the Islands are closer.

I have visited 77 countries, I want to do about five per jaunt into the Travel Bush, areas that are confusing complicated, easy to be caught up or mired down in Traveler problems. Note, Australia is boringly easy, it is the Islands of the South Pacific that are a money challenge.

Strange as it sounds, I will have to study a map like this one cafefully to make sure I do not accidentally skip any in this area.

Note, I learned how to skew this map with Windows Notepad, it made it fit inside the 640 x 480 dimensions I use as a standard easy.

Hi AndyTo travel around the south pacific I would say your best bet is flying from Auckland. I'm from NZ, and Auckland is known as the largest polynesian city around. More samoans/tongans/niueans/cook islanders live there than in the home islands.www.airnz.co.nz often has cheap flights and not all are hub & spoke style. ie I think you can fly from AKL to Tonga and then on to Samoa without returning to AKL.Good luck. If you time it right you may be able to hitch a ride on a yacht too...Wayne

It is possible to just slowly fly down all the more or less mainland cities. Darwin, Cairns, Brisbane, Sydney of Australia, then over to Auckland New Zealand and as I stop, I find out prices, maybe I could bounce to a couple of Island then back to Aussieland or NZ to stay closer to large airline routes.There is a theory of travel where you just rush on through, then come back to the place you like.

You got to go to PITCAIRN ISLAND "Mutiny on the Bounty" fame.worth it 120 % catch a boat out of New Zealand. Wacky bunch corrupted by missionaries and human desire. If you could recreate this island it would happen over and over again. Humans being human. Bring some books.
