  • Where have you been in the Pacific regions?

    Just the Pacific regions.. I've had a chance to check out Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Califoria, Oregon, Washington, British Colombia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Hong Kong.

    And of course.. the very best.. Hawaii!

    Lived in Japan, on Guam and Kwajalein. On the mainland, LA a couple of times, and San Diego for boot camp and training school.

      Visited Japan 3 times from 1986-1990.

      Spend four years in Oregon for school from 1990-1994. Visited Seattle and Vancouver while I was there. Was back there to visit in 2001 and 2004.

      Los Angeles a couple of times, most recently in 1998.

      Last time in San Francisco was 1994.

        Visited the San Francisco Bay Area a few times in the late 1980's to the early 1990's.

          My Pacific area visits:

          USA: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, and of course, my home state of Hawai'i.

          Mexico: Acapulco, Puerto Escondido.

          Canada: Vancouver

          That's it. Never done Pacific Asia: Japan, Hong Kong, Macau, China, Korea, etc, though I am planning on doing Japan at some point in the next few years.

            I live in the San Francisco bay area so I've been there. I've also been to many other parts of California including the Los Angeles area which is like a different world to me.

            I've driven through Oregon and Washington. Been up to Vancouver and Victoria, BC.

            My family and I went to Alaska two years ago which was very different culturally and scenic-wise than anywhere I've been.

            I've been to the islands of Hawai'i, O'ahu, Maui and Kaua'i.

            My wife and oldest son got to go to Japan last summer but I had to stay home with our youngest.

            Oh yeah, I've been to TJ too.

                  Re: Where have you been in the Pacific regions?

                  West Coast stuff, of course -- various spots in California, and Portland, Oregon. All major Hawaiian Islands except Maui. Fiji only if an emergency landing of a commercial flight to Asia counts.

                  More notably, I've been to Auckland, New Zealand; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Tokyo, Japan; Singapore; Hong Kong SAR; and Shanghai, China. New Zealand is the only place I've visited that I really could imagine living. Too bad jobs are scarce (though sheep are not!).

                    For me sorted by total time spent would be Oahu, Kauai, Hawaii, Molokai, Maui.

                    I think it counts.

                        It's a bit of a dead thread, but anyway...

                        I lived in Fiji and Vanuatu for five years. I had holidays in the Cook Islands (Rarotonga and Aitutaki) and spent over a year in Hawai'i - most of that on a sabbatical at UHH. I also did a bunch of scuba courses on the Big Island and Maui, and got rained on a couple of times on Kaua'i. I also lived in Vancouver, BC, for over a year and had a holiday in Santa Cruz, Ca.

                        The Big Island is still my favourite, although the Cook Islands come pretty close.

                              For me...

                              Spent lotsa time visiting from San Diego to Santa Rosa, including Catalina Island <g>...(Carmel's my fave)
