What is that Island in the middle of the pacific ocean?

[viking60]

I am just to curious: We have a visitor from the middle of the Pacific Ocean. And I have no Idea what the place is called. Are there any geography experts here? (Pitcairn Islands? Polynesia? Tahiti?)

Get real! The Pacific is pretty large, there is North Pacific and South Pacific, thousands of islands altogether, probably. I lived on Guam, which is something like the same distance to the West of the International Dateline as Hawaii is to the East, so I thought of that, first.


There is a Midway island, very close to the Dateline, but I don't think many people come from there.

Wow I hereby declare that visitor our most exotic guest (In a very positive way!). I would love to chat with him about the weather (I don't even know what time of year it is there (Fall? Spring?) or maybe it is to close to the equator to even matter.

Catalina Island? lol.

@rolf, what was Guam like? Other than erm, possibly tropical?

I was just there until I was about 18 m.o. Then, my brother was born, there, and we moved back to California. What I remember was sitting in the sand box and looking up at the sky. Clouds moved across the sun and it started storming. Pretty much tropical is all I remember.
