South Pacific Travel Blog Site Launched

Vancouver, Canada, November 24, 2005 - A new island travel blog has been launched to supply visitors with the latest updates. South Pacific Travel carries news and views from 15 Pacific countries and territories.

http://southpacific.org/blog/ shares information collected by David Stanley, author of Moon Handbooks South Pacific. It covers everything from Easter Island to the Solomons, the same areas included in Stanley's guides.

Moon Handbooks South Pacific was the original travel guide to Oceania, now in its 8th edition. It takes years to compile a new edition, and even as one is being printed, the next is underway. In the interim, this blog keeps readers up to date.

Aside from providing new facts, the South Pacific Travel blog discusses issues of interest to visitors. Subjects often avoided in mainstream guidebooks can be touched on here, as they are in Moon Handbooks South Pacific.

Says Stanley, "I consider this blog an extension of my existing websites, and a means of staying in touch with my diverse readership. Viewers can contact me through the blog, and if I think their questions are of general interest, I'll address them in the next day's posts."

http://southpacific.org/blog/ offers island travelers yet another tool for planning their South Pacific vacations and adventure travels. A virtual island tour has begun.
