Easter Island is that island in the South Pacific with the giant statues that some people believe were erected by aliens! Almost 1,000 of these monoliths (human statues) carved from a single piece of stone are scattered all over Easter Island and a "Must see to be believes" unforgettable sight. Plan a visit now! The volcanic statues are deteriorating and becoming plain rock. Easter Island is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most remote inhabited islands in the world, 3,512 kilometers/2,182 miles away from Santiago. Known as "Rapa Nui" to the locals, the volcanic island is a center of Polynesian culture, although Chilean in nationality. It seems like some people work their entire life to take an Exotic Vacation, when in reality, such a trip can be had for less than taking the family to DisneyWorld, even for very remote Easter Island.

Sheila Simkin, a native Chicagoan, has been traveling the world since 1960. The travel bug first hit on her honeymoon in Miami. Fidel Castro had just taken over Cuba and lured by rock-bottom prices, Sheila sweet-talked her then husband into abandoning Miami for Cuba. That marked the beginning of her lifetime travel passion and addiction. There are very few countries that are not on her to-see list no matter how remote and/or difficult they may be. The U.S. State Department recognizes 193 independent countries and she has visited approximately 150 in over 40 years of travel (but...who's counting). Touring, hiking, trekking, rafting, snowshoeing, skiing, volunteering on archaeological digs, family trips and, she must admit, occasionally sitting on a beach or compulsively shopping. Travels With Sheila.com attempts to deliver the hard facts. Answer questions that will help you plan your holiday. Whether it be a tight or upscale budget, Sheila has probably been there...done it. She has built up a network of trusted tour operators who will plan an individualized trip and arrange treks for around the same price a group tour would charge. Perhaps, even for less. Sheila will give information about pensions, inns, hotels, train travel, air, adventures without sugarcoating. Sheila is not a Travel Agent, has no affiliation with any agency or airline and tells it as she sees it. Her goal is to encourage you to take the big step and travel to more exotic, remote destinations by providing tips, anecdotes and reassurance that, yes, you will come back alive.
