Not really much to report today. Checked out of our room, had a quick last wander before heading to the airport for our flight to FIJI!! The flight over wasn't too bad and on arrival we got a free transfer to our hostel. One thing that we do notice is the amount of Mosquito's there are here - lucky we packed our spray then! After checking in, we try to do some laudry whilst spending 4 hours updating our blog from Australia (oh well, it's worth it). Early night tonight as we are going on a tour of the islands tomorrow - looking forward to some relaxation!... read more

04/12/07 The routine was un-changed, early start, sandy fly rainstorm, de-camped in no time, headed off in the van with sand flies spewing out the windows.........job done. It showed that even the worst tasks can offer you some satisfation, and even the thought of doing it again didn't dampen the spirits. By half 7 we had arrived in a car park over-looking the lake, got a brew on, chowed down on some breakfast and chatted about jobs (Pathetic eh. We don't need to but with only 2 weeks to go the mind starts wandering. At least we've put work in perspective and i've definitely re-ignited my passion for working my crack off, whilst Amy is looking forward to a new bean-counting challenge.....). We made full use of the public toilets which had just been cleaned and ... read more

OK well first off on the flight from reg town to minny, randomly my friend from high school ( Aiden Mula) who was on his way to Japan was on the same flight and also had a lengthy layover so we went for lunch and walked around the airport to kill time until his flight, which was awesome, then to LAX which was a freaking circus for 6 hours which wasnt very fun, then a 10 hour flight to Nadi which allso wasnt very fun, got there at 6 am, got to the hostel which was nice, starting talking to 2 british dudes which i have been hanging out with x 2 days now. Just chilled by the pool yesterday got brown, had a few cocktails, aslo met a few welsch ladies who were staying in ... read more

Day started bright and early with a 4:50am wake up call. We were at the airport by 5:45am, and sitting comfortably in the Air New Zealand lounge by 6. Quite the spread at this lounge - with a full hot breakfast and coffee bar, mutiple PSP stations available for use, computers, the works. We have really been enjoying traveling on Air New Zealand - I think dan would defect from united if the flew more conveniently for us! Flight to Nadi (or Nandi - you will see it written and said both ways) was nice and easy. Watched a movie, had some food, and read a little and we were there bright and early about 10am (with the time change). Since we had some time before our connecting flight - 2pm, we decided to take a ... read more
