WHAT & WHERE WE ARE ?!?!?

Located a world away from the continental United States in terms of geography and pace of life, this unincorporated Territory is America's little-known South Pacific paradise. The seven island chain, which lies 2500 miles south of Hawaii, 1200 miles east of Fiji, and that far west of Tahiti, is best known for its port area of Pago Pago (pronounced pongo pongo), and counts its two huge canneries and associated fishing industry as the key to its economy.

The islands themselves are covered with lush tropical forests of coconut palms and banana trees which, along with the 58,000 inhabitants, bask in a yearly temperatures of 84-89 degrees Fahrenheit, with rainfall from 150"-250" a year. The hotter, rainy season matches the hurricane season and lasts from November to March. The relatively "cooler" and "drier"winter season runs from May to August.

The best links for more general information about American Samoa are the following:

iPacific's American Samoa -- Lots of links, lots of info.
Office of Tourism's Page -- Government employees put it together. Enough said.
The Polynesian Cafe -- A bulletin board for the South Pacific
SamoaNet--The Internet Gateway -- New. Heavy on graphics, light otherwise.
