Creator's Key Takeaways

here we are another 2500 miles away from the South American Coast to spend Christmas day is it better than being back in icy cold snowy Chicago

I've been thinking about Easter Island for years and years in years and some people say well why are you going to spend all that kind of money to visit a place that's so inaccessible and very costly

if you want to see them one of the great sites of the world then you pay the piper so here we are and come along with us

YouTube Video Description

DECEMBER, 2013 http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com Most travelers come to Easter Island on a 4 day/3 night package, as did we and then explore the exact same sights in the exact same order. We selected Hotel O'Tai in the center of Hanga Roa for our stay. Exclusive and uber expensive hotels are Altiplanico and Explora; both of whom include all sights, guides and food in their rates but we were very happy at O'Tai, convenient to all restaurants. And only five minutes from the airport! Easter Island is 3,700 kilometers/2,300 miles west of South America and the only other way to access by air is from Tahaiti. Occasional cruise lines do include Easter Island in their itineraries. Why visit? For the incredible Maoi (stone statues). In-depth videos of all that we saw and did will follow...And please don't forget to Share, Like and Subscribe. Thanks!
