We have been to lots of places since leaving home but no where have we met people like the Fijian's. They are so friendly and welcoming. Our first stop was the Sky Lodge in Nadi where we spent two nights before headin http://www.travelblog.org//Oceania/Fiji/Vanua-Levu/blog-276445.html HEy Guysok so i'm alive and back i'm back in Nadi.... just came back from voro voroi have so much to tell everyone but with limited internet i can't write too much right now....it was absolutely amazing thothe BBC will have a 5 part documentary on it starting on monday...you can either go to the website...www.tribewanted.com and get a link to it or check the satellite if you get bbc...love you al http://www.travelblog.org//Oceania/Fiji/Vanua-Levu/blog-237245.html Hey guys...so i made it over ok to Labasa...this is pretty much a nontourist zone so i'm already starting to feel like a local in an internet cafe hahah....anyway...i'm really excited i've met ben who is the coordinator for tribeswanted... it sounds really exciting...when i told him about my studies in public health he was really interested to hear about it and has encouraged me to discuss wit http://www.travelblog.org//Oceania/Fiji/Vanua-Levu/blog-235025.html Today was a travel day. Taxi early in the morning to Somosomo followed by a trip on a car ferry across the strait to Natuvu on Vanua Levu. There were two movies playing on the ferry which was a bit of a surprise. Both were blackmarket DVDs which wasn't a surprise. Everywhere you go in Fiji there are street stalls selling illegal copies of the movies playing at the cinemas at the present time http://www.travelblog.org//Oceania/Fiji/Vanua-Levu/blog-193670.html The ferry trip to Vanua Levu was quite good as they played movies to keep us entertained. The first was a good one Catch A Fire which was about Aparteid. The second called Ballistic Ecks vs Sever was an awfully bad action movie starring Lucy Liu and Antonio Banderas who both seemed awfully embarrassed to be part of such a plotfree monstrosity.After landing we waited for a bus north in the http://www.travelblog.org//Oceania/Fiji/Vanua-Levu/blog-191534.html Preparer a la vie fijienne on l'etait.

I'm sorry sir your flight has been canceled ...and so it began. I went into this trip with the mindset that no plans are solid and I expected some unexpected twists and turns in the road. However I didn't expect it to begin within seconds of getting out of Melvin's car at O'Hare.
