Franko's Maps Fabulous Maps of Favorite Places

Some of the world’s most serene and beautiful Edens are located in the Pacific, including magnificent Micronesia, Tahiti, and many more. Micronesia is an area as vast as the U.S., an it includes the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan, Rota, Tinian and Guam), The Republic of Belau (Palau), The Federated States of Micronesia (The Western Caroline Islands of Yap, and Chuuk, or Truk and The Eastern Caroline Islands of Pohnpei and Kosre), the Republic of Marshall Islands (Kwajalein, Majuro and Arno Atolls), and the Republic of Kiribati. The Hub of Micronesia is Guam. Guam is a piece of the U.S.A. right in Micronesia. Although divers and other explorers travel to much of Micronesia via Guam, Guam itself is a fantastic destination all on it’s own. Franko’s first map for Magnificent Micronesia begins with Guam. Each of these fabulous spots in the vast Pacific deserve to be mapped and their individual attributes should be bragged about. Indeed, in the future, others will be added to Franko’s list, and the mapping will likely continue into the South Pacific as well. Guam has been mapped with the fantastic aid of Mr. Guam Tourism, Mr. Bert Unpingco, who is the man who invented tourism in Guam in the first place. Immense help has been freely given by the wonderful people of Guam. Bert’s knowledge of Guam and his connections with the people of official agencies in Guam have put this map together. This includes the help and connections with the Guam Visitors Bureau, the Guam Hotel and Restaurant Association, the officials at Guam’s National Park -War In The Pacific National Historical Park, The Highways Division of Guam’s Department of Public Works, The Chamorro Studies and Special Projects Division, Guam’s Division of Aquatic and Wildlife Resources, and Guam’s dive shops and people. If Franko could receive even one tenth of this support for other Micronesian projects, they will come to fruition. This help ties Guam with Franko’s Map of Waikiki and O’ahu Things to See and Do as the most comprehensive help that yours truly has ever been rendered on any project ever. Interestingly, the Waikiki and O’ahu help, which was given by the wonderful people of Hawaiian Resources Co. (see hawaiianresources.net) also helped with the Guam project. My thanks to publisher, Peter Cannon, webmaster Rob Reisenwitz and editor extraordinaire, Lisa Okino. So thus begins Franko’s ventures beyond Hawaii, although Guam is still technically in the U.S.A.
