After Palau, my next stop was Majuro, Republic of Marshall Islands (RMI). Iokwe (pronounced yok-we) — “welcome” — is the first word of Marshallese language you would hear when you land at Majuro International Airport in this island paradise. The Marshall Islands is actually a collection of more than 1,225 islands and islets and 870 reef systems. Two nearly parallel chains of 29 coral atolls and five islands form the Ratak (Sunrise) and Ralik (Sunset) chains, covering 70 square miles.
