I left Burlington on Continental Airlines to Newark, New Jersey arriving just before 8 PM. I had a small dinner and tried to stay awake to synchronize to Palau time. It is 1:33 AM (Early Wednesday morning) at gate C-71.

I recommend shopping at Ben Franklin shopping Center. Overall I have found prices remarkably similar to the states with some items higher and some lower. In the grocery department we have only found Wheat-Thins obvious by there absence. Appliances seem inexpensive with everything except cappuccino makers available. |
