After weeks of searching for lowest prices, we have purchased our
flights to return to the U.S. in June 2014.
Total cost of airfare (not counting lodging/food while we wait for our
next flights):
$5600 - please begin praying for this money to come in. We had to save
up for this and lost almost exactly this amount because of the unplanned
medivac.
Total Travelling time:
24h 55m
THAT is why PNG is a hard to get to place. Takes a long time, multiple
planes, and is expensive.
To put it in perspective,
It's 5 - 1 week vacations to Disneyland.
or
a really nice 3 week vacation in Hawaii for a family of 4.
Hmmn, would you rather, fly to PNG, (a third world country)
or
Hawaii?
I can tell you the beaches here are nicer! It's just that getting to
them may involve a little more risk than you're comfortable with. (well
that and we live no where near a beach)
