		Aitutaki consists of a main island surrounded by a large shallow lagoon enclosed by a barrier reef which has many motus (small islands) appearing above the water's surface.

	News: December 14, 2001 (Aitutaki, Cook Islands)
		As I learned, Aitutaki was a beautiful island with a huge lagoon that was located about 150 miles north of Rarotonga, the major island in the Cook Islands.
		After spending two days on Rarotonga, (see News: December 10, 2001), I flew out to Aitutaki on a small Air Rarotonga turboprop, got off the plane, and walked into the Aitutaki “air terminal.” The terminal is actually a large thatched hut, but it definitely sets the tone for this island paradise.
		With a few exceptions, most of the lodges on Aitutaki are small, family-run establishments with a lot of “character.” The Vaikoa Units were definitely on the budget end of the spectrum.
