Bye bye Fiji

---

It's Sunday and we are leaving Fiji tonight; the week has come and gone but we have been very unlucky with the weather. Whilst warm, we have had only one sunny day out of the 8 we have had on the island. A couple of days of rain and the rest just overcast and windy. The hotel has been great though, at times just us and another couple plus the management and staff - so really friendly personal service.

We have done some snorkelling/some boogie boarding and played some Petanque! We also hired a jeep for a couple of days and saw a bit of the island which was a good thing to do. However, we are still craving a few days of sunbathing, which we haven't managed to get here! Hopefully Hawaii will be better!

We have the experience tonight of crossing the International Date Line, so we will be reliving today again tomorrow in Hawaii! We leave Fiji at 2250 sunday night and arrive Hawaii at 0720 Sunday morning! All a bit freaky!

Anyway, no chance to upload any pics, but we will do at the first chance we have!

Love to all and hope that autumn is not getting too cold and dark!

ONE WEEK UNTIL YOU ARE HERE!
Hello you two! Sorry you did not get much sun in Fiji. Hawaii will be fantastic though! Besides, once you arrive here in Arizona you will have plenty of sunshine! :o) Your arrival date is PERFECT. You will understand why we all live here (even though the summers are rough), it is because it is simply beautiful Oct. - April. Mom's birthday tomorrw, 69!! Can't believe it! Anyway, love to you both!! We are all looking forward to seeing you soon! **If you are staying in Maui, try to call me, I can give you some information on some things you don't want to miss out on while you are there!! See you soon! Clare
