December 2007 -- I flew from Samoa to American Samoa on Polynesian Airlines (http://www.polynesianairlines.com/) and visited the island by rental car, making stops at two tuna canneries (operated by Star-Kist and Chicken of the Sea).

Only short visit from Western Samoa. We stayed one night in Pago Pago, and did not go anywhere else. Flight back to Apia.

I thought that American Samoa was like Hawaii or Guam: North American citizens everywhere, English spoken, hamburgers and coca colas in the fast food restaurants, etc. But I was completely wrong. Apart from the currency, the US dollar, nothing else reminded me the USA. The men wore lava-lava, they spoke Samoan language (although everybody could understand English), and the food was typical Polynesian. I felt a palagi (foreigner), as people called me.
Pago Pago is a nice town situated in a bay with a fiord, and the main island, Tutuila, has waterfalls and some historical places, such as Tula, from where the old Polynesian embarked to discover other Pacific islands, such as the Marquesas, in French Polynesia. It is also worth a visit Aasu and its monument to La Perouse, the French explorer of the XVIII century who had a battle with the natives losing 12 men (the Samoans lose 40 men). Some time later La Perouse and his men lose their lives in the Solomon.
My last day in Pago Pago I took a boat to Apia, in Western Samoa.
