There's Something About Saipan: A visitor's guide to fantastic facts, tantalizing trivia, startling statistics, dramatic diaries & hair-raising history

by Walt F. J. Goodridge

Overview

Yes, there is something about Saipan that endears it to tourists, writers, historians, expats, guest workers and indigenous residents alike. But what is it exactly? Is it the Guiness Book of World Records-recognized weather? Is it the island's pivotal role in WWII history and the ushering in of the atomic age? Is it its prominence in the "real" story of Amelia Earhart's fate? Is it the warm, welcoming indigenous Chamorro and Carolinian people? Is it the ecclectic multi-ethnic mix of guest workers and expats from all over the world? Or, Is it the unique, possibly magical, energetically-enhanced proximity to the Marianas Trench--the deepest point on the planet, a combination of all these or something as yet unidentified? Discover it for yourself!

About the Author

"Once upon a time, there was a Jamaican civil engineer living in New York City who hated his job. He followed his passion, started a sideline business publishing his own books, quit his job, escaped the rat race, ran off to a tropical island in the Pacific, and started a tourism business so he could give tours of the island to pretty girls every day! He now lives a nomadpreneur's dream life while helping others do the same!"
