Hey all,
It's a way off but I'll be going on the Star Dancer, PNG April 23rd to May 3rd. I will be booking my airfare most likely with Peter Hughes Diving's airfare specialist this September/October timeframe. I've been getting quotes round trip between 2200 to 2500 from Honolulu - that's flying through Tokyo and/or Singapore to Port Moresby, and finally to Hoskins/Walindi. I may need to overnight on the way there and/or back. Are these airfares (in y'alls opinions) reasonable?
Has anyone stayed at the Walindi Plantation Resort? Are the rooms air conditioned? I don't think it says it on the website - if they are not, is it hard to sleep at night with it being so humid? I think Peter Hughes Diving recommends one night at this resort prior to vessel departure.
Also, any ideas for good hotels for a single overnight on the way there or back in Tokyo or Singapore? From what I've read, I've heard Port Moresby is not exactly the place to hang around from a safety standpoint - my plan (if possible) is to get there and get out as quick as possible - hopefully I'll be successful.
Also, what types of vaccinations should I try to update for this trip??
Thanks all!
