If you are thinking of going to Santiago or Tahiti, did
you know, you could take a flight to Easter Island? It's included
in the famous Oneworld Explorer air pass. In addition, if you do plan
a trip to Easter Island, David Stanley's piece on Easter Island is
a good source of information to help you plan your trip. David's notes
on Easter Island are taken from the Moon Handbook on the South Pacific.

Visit southpacific.org for full information on how
to get there, what there is to see, how to get around, a brief history
and other activities such as surfing and diving. David Stanley has earned
his living from guidebook writing since 1979, producing guides to the
South Pacific, Micronesia, Alaska-Yukon, Eastern Europe, and Cuba. His
latest book, Lonely Planet Canada's Maritime Provinces, was released
in July.
