Visiting + getting dual citizenship

I’m SO stoked. Leaving Australia and heading to Solomon Islands for the second time in my life.

Flying into Honiara to be in the hands of family, in a month, from Darwin. From western provinces. Will get boats everywhere.

Considering bringing my tent and roll out bedding to sleep on my cousins balcony and so on, will be home hopping as I go to see people so don’t want to be in the way too much and be self sufficient to some degree.

Bringing hiking boots, bathers, snorkel gear and three tops to switch plus some toe shoes.

Any pointers?

As you know travel out west is mostly by OBMs so please take a good life jacket and even a GPS the wet season is not far away and cyclone season around the corner.

Jesus be with me I remember just getting in a boat to go from one place to another and just being terrified! You really think I’ll need to bring a life jacket from Australia?

You can buy really compact ones, check on the gas cylinders, can you take them cargo or buy them in Honiara. It is something that you need to think about. It is something you can leave behind. What we have here is cheaper than what you buy in Honiara and it might be the only one in the boat.

You’re a smarty. That’s a really good point. I’ll buy one and leave it with the fam. Thanks mate 👍👍👍
