Big earthquake in Vanuatu...


I confess, never heard of it and had to look it up on a map. Am I the only one?

honeymoon'd in bora bora which is 'relatively' close. the pacific ocean redefines that word.

Not far from here - NE actually.
Thought you guys would have been familiar with this area of the world it as it is just south of the Solomons. (where you lost a lot of men at Guadacanal plus I recall a huge naval battle).
Do the terms Cactus Air Force, The Slot, The Tokyo Express, Rat Transportation ring any bells?
They are all American.
I know they are related to the Solomons, but in the same area.
