Our 11 hour flight from LAX to Nadi (Viti Levu, Fiji) seemed to go by surprisingly fast. I suppose this is because Bettina and I were working frantically to pack our storage container and we were extremely exhausted. We placed the lock on the container at around 8 pm and drove directly to the LAX from Newport Beach to catch our 11 pm flight. We call it Just In (Tony and Tini) Time - JIT^3. We could not have completed the packing on time if it were not for our friends (You know who you are. Thanks again). It was refreshing to take a break in the VIP Air New Zealand lounge prior to departure.
This is our second day at the Hilton Fiji Beach Resort and Spa. It is quite hot and a bit humid with clear skies. We will stay here at the Hilton for a few more nights. In the meantime we are planning our next excursion to the Yasawa Islands, north of Viti Levu. Did you know that Fijian Indians make up approximately 40% of the population (Native Fijians: ~ 53%; European, Chinese, and Pacific Islanders: ~ 7%). We will be in Fiji until November 12th and then head for Australia. Moce (goodbye) for now.
