My apologies DU, I posted incorrectly early this morning mixing up the recent news about detention in Tonga w/ Palau

Posting here in case I left anyone else with wrong information due to my error.

It sure is embarrassing, as I know well they are not the same place.

I have to constantly edit my posts, especially when I'm jacked up about something! People here are kind and understanding.

.. and college roommate (plus HS friend) spent 3 years in Palau with The Peace Corps.
If not for that, I probably wouldn't know where it was!
Later in life, I went to the Philippines 6 or 7 times. By then, I knew where Palau was.
