Jerry Peek's Micronesia Links

Micronesia is a sprinkling of islands -- actually, island nations -- across a wide area of the western Pacific Ocean. This page has links to information about some places in Micronesia. I wrote this page, for my own use, before I took a trip there. Now, after the trip, I've decided to put the page on my site in case it's useful to other people. (By the way, that's me in the photo, next to one of the biggest pieces of stone money in Yap.) If you find broken links or have suggestions about this page, please click on the "Contact" link at the bottom of this page. This page doesn't have links to any of the hotels and diving companies because they're all over the Web and easy to find. Here's a Google search box to help you with that:
