Not very good maps until I find better. Left is Western Samoa (or just Samoa as it is now called). Includes the islands of Savaii and Upolu. Apia is where we fly into and get between islands by ferry or by air provided by local airlines (shades of "Wings") The map on the left doesn't show much detail. The other map shows the proximity of the islands to North America. The international dateline causes Samoa to be the very last geographical area on the globe in a particular 24 hour day. They got a lot of press because they were last in 1999 before the new millenium. I'll try to find better maps. Meanwhile, view the islnds on Google Earth, it's really fun and you can see a lot of the island detail.
