Travel safe!
The fast food restaurant that they used in the movie is a five minute drive from my home. It is a Wendy's . I always passed it on the way to my in-laws and remembered thinking that it was going out of business because the name changed but it still looked like Wendy's

Well... THAT was a waste of a long weekend.
No tourism infrastructure whatsoever.
Ask a local what there is to see and they shrug their shoulders. They suggest I try the Tourist Information Center, but add that it's closed on Saturday.
Even the fruit bats fly around in the daytime coz there's fuck all to do at night.
Wish I'd taken a guitar. Even with my lacklustre performing ability and mediocre talent, I could've been American Samoa's next Idol.

Waddaya expect? It's only there for missile defense and satellite tracking purposes. You should've asked to see where they keep the nuclear weapons ... it could have resulted in a personal guided tour of "locals-only" places by our government officials! Free overnight accommodations, too!
We hope you left some money behind. We need it to close the trade deficit.
