BULA from fiji

BULA EVERYBODY!!!
i am here in nadi fiji, just outside the mountains with andy and mike.
we finally have some internet access.
i miss everyone, and im sorry for the late entry
we have done so much
check out www.manafiji.com
we stayed on that island and conquered it for our stay here
snorkeled, tanned, aqua dumped, got really bad fish diahrea, stayed with the mamas and got wasted off Kava....dont mess with that stuff...look it up if you wish.
fiji has been eye opening and we cant believe we are actually here.
we will be in new zealand in auckland tommorow afternoon...which is actually a day and a half ahead of you guys...oi vay!
i hope everyones okay at the courthouse...i miss you all

the mamas hooked us up with safe awesome meals...while we lifted our shirts up and learned from the locals a few tricks. we stayed in Merianis backpackers in a poorer part of mana, but it was so cool to live there and experience that.

and so the real adventure begins...ill be sure to go on here as much as possible
being stranded on Mana island was a blessing...i will look back on fiji as being one of the nicest countrys culture wise...everyone is beautiful and brilliant.
we miss you....and dont forget a little taste of home is the best remedy
e-mail me if you get the chance, or just comment on this entry, i would be thrilled to hear from you.

vanaka everyone, miss you so much...
until next time

Hello Danny
How's it going. We have been reading your updates and now getting around to a comment. I guess you have had Christmas (not sure of time change) It is Christmas Eve here. Guy is here with us and we are going to my sister's tomorrow. We Christmas with all the Paton's last Saturday. Very nice. Everyone there but you (missed you). Nice to see everyone. I think we won't have too much of a White Christmas. It is mild and the snow is melting. Uncle Peter is going down hill fast. It won't be long now. We are so happy we went down twice this year and that you mom and dad, Aunt Gin, Uncle John and Aunt Cathy got to see him in June. Many happy memories. Say hello to Any and his brother. Take care. Lots of Love Grandpa and Diane
