pacific island adventure

Despite the somewhat negative tone of his writing, I do still envy Paul Theroux, because of what he has seen and done in his travels. I doubt that I will ever get a chance to see the Solomon Islands nor will I ever set foot on the Trobiands. My experience with islands in the Pacific will probably be limited to Hawaii and New Zealand.

Growing up I can remember watching Linda Carter spinning in a circle as she changed from Diana Prince to Wonder Woman. Now thanks to a newly released DVD box set, I got to experience that sight once again. Oh, the camp factor was there, but she did play the role straight and that was what made the series believable. Carter was Wonder Woman and that was enough. Plus from she said in the commentary, her role preceded Charlie's Angels and any other series from that time to have a woman in a lead role on television.
