Yep, we're in Auckland and we bought a van. It's awesome here, New Zealand is kickass. But first let me recap our last week in Fiji. We left Lautoka and spent a night in Nadi on our way to Mana Island. Our friend Rio from Nananu-i-ra was there so that was cool. She told us that Dangerous Dave was staying down the road, so later that night we go to surprise him at his hostel and see what he's up to. We walked around to the back of the bar and find him in the front of a Fijian conga dance. [View Full Entry]

Wheeeee
Wheeeee
Ain't life grand?
Wow, where do I begin? The bus ride from Suva to Nananu-i-Ra was crazy. We were on an old rickety bus going over steep dirt roads and across "bridges" that consisted of 2 wooden planks and no guard rails. We passed lots of local villages with stands on the side of the road selling fruits, veggies, and live chickens. But then 4 hours later we made it. Nananu-i-Ra is a small island about 3km off the northeast coast of Viti Levu. It is much drier and hotter in this part of Fiji. It was about a 20 minute boat ride with [View Full Entry]

Well, it's been a little over a week since we arrived in Fiji. We stayed at the Beachouse for the first 7 nights and are now in Suva which is Fiji's capital, so we finally have access to high speed internet. The Beachouse was amazing. It was filled with experiences that are totally unreal. The feeling of being on the road for such a long trip is indescribable. All I can say is that finally getting here and being surrounded by other travellers is the best thing ever. I expected to feel like a vagabond after I left New York, but [View Full Entry]

This was during my surprise going away party - it's a shot of an Israeli liquor called Arack. I dunno if any of you have tried it, but the funnier picture would have been of my face after downing it.... [more]
So I’m pretty excited right now. Only 2 more days until I leave for Fiji on Dec 1 with 2 of my best friends. I’ve been voluntarily unemployed since Nov 1 and I highly recommend it. Sleep rules. I walk around with a permanent smile and I haven’t even left yet. That’s not to say I’m not nervous at all, but I decided that there’s something to be said about scaring the shit out of yourself. Everyone should try it at least once in their lives. It’s fun. [View Full Entry]
