Next and final stop was Tokoriki Resort, one of two resorts on Tokoriki Island in the northern Mamanucas. It was adults only. We hadnt been to one of those before so we werent quite sure what to expect. You had to be at least fourteen before theyd let you stay there. Troy was exactly that, so we only just scraped in. We got off the ferry and walked through the pool area to reception. It was so qui Read on...

Lucky for us Centennial RV in Grand Junction not only had a service department that was Read on...
