The Island of No Return

After months of planning and paperwork, I'm finally on my way to PNG.

The anticipation has been killing me. I've been googling the heck out of everything associated with the island, the plantation and the nearby town. From what I gathered, the locals refer to their home as “The Island of No Return” which could mean one of two things.
A) it's so nice, once you go there, you'll never want to leave.

Or


B) watch out for the enormous volcano, the malarial mosquitoes, the treacherous ocean passage on a tiny boat and certainly beware of the two major social evils on the island (as quoted on a blog by a local islander). Beware of marijuana and sorcery.
