Detailed Pacific Island maps
When planing your research for a trip to Pacific Islands a detailed map is surely a great asset. When visiting this part of the globe it’s also very important to calculate the date line into your overall travel plans. Like, when flying from New Zealand to Cook Islands you’ll cross the date line. This means, you will arrive a day earlier than you arrive! So, be careful as this can have significant implications on your overall holiday arrangements.
