To post you will need to register first, but you'll also benefit from the experience of others to find answers to your questions or problems. Please try to post in English in order to have a larger audience. I will generally answer in English to messages in French, Italian, German or Spanish, unless you clearly specify otherwise.

Please note that there will be limited support after July 3rd as I will be in French Polynesia leading my international group for TSE 2010.
While in Papeete, either before and after the eclipse, I will be staying at The Radisson Plaza Resort Tahiti. Feel free to chime in and don't forget to bring your photos.
