I have been to the Solomon Islands twice in the last three years, once in August of 1998 and, after many delays due to the recent "ethnic tensions", again this march. My first trip was actually my honeymoon but I also managed to get in some serious wreck viewing and battlesite visits, thanks to a very understanding wife!
