Karen’s Fish Burgers
One food item that there’s lots of in the Marshall Islands is fish, plus I’m particularly lucky because my husband, Cary, has a fishing boat, so he is quite often the hunter and gatherer. Not so lucky? Don’t worry, because all the supermarkets carry fresh fish. For the fish burgers I use yellowfin or dogtooth […]

I’ve added a bunch of comments as to why I’ve included some items in the list. Travel Documents Airline Tickets, itinerary and passport/s: Each must be valid for at least […]

Chris James of CNN’s Beme News, which can be found on YouTube, came to Majuro recently and produced an excellent clip on climate change.
