Lefaga Beach - where the film "Return to Paradise" was shot. This is from my last visit home in June 2005. I took three of my friends from Utah with me and we had a lot of fun.

Robert Louis Stevenson's house, Vailima, Upolu, Samoa. This used to be the official residence of the Head of State of Western Samoa. It has now been restored to how it looked when Robert Lewis Stevenson lived there and is museum. He is buried on the top of the mountain behind his house.

Vaiola, Savaii, Western Samoa -- This is where I attended school from 7th to 10th grades. When I was a student here the wing on the right of this photo did not exist. My father was the principal and my mother taught Home Economics.
