Bula from Fiji

We made it! And without too much drama. Well it was a drama alright, more like a comedy sketch with us and all our luggage, but our luggage all made it and so did we so I can't complain. The only delay we had was in T.O to L.A but it was only about 20 mins. I could only describe the flights and line-ups though as PAINFUL! I will have to Get Darryl to post about this b/c I will not be able to do comedic justice to our experience with the two kids and our fortress of luggage. The flight from L.A to Fiji was 10 1/2 hours. Insane.
We arrived here at about 5:30am Fiji time and our hotel suite wasn't ready so we had to wait a few hours. What better way to wait then to have an amazing buffet breakfast our door's by the pool and then head down to the pool with the kids. The beach is so beautiful too, dark sand, but so soft and the water is warmer than the pool's. The resort we are at is BEAUTIFUL and the people are so happy and friendly. Bending over backwards to make you comfortable. Lot's of entertainment for the kids and many many pool's to choose from. I will upload pic's as soon as i'm able.
We are heading to Plantation island today to another resort for couple of day's. And then off to NZ. I'm sure the kids won't be as excited to get on this airplane as they were in Canada. They are over the excitement of flying.
I better go as it is early in the morning here and D is waiting at the pool with the kids. This is a much needed and welcomed vacation after a tough few months of packing and organizing and long day's for D.
I'll write more later.

Sounds like a blast ... I remember family flights to Africa when I was a kid - 5 of us with tons of luggage and everyone gawking at us. Can't wait to see the pics ... happy new year from the MacGowans!

It is painful to read this when we're stuck here in the cold and snow! LOL! Drove to Creston today and the roads are brutal. There's also been a terribly fatal avalanche in Fernie. Not exacttly Fiji is it.
Anyway so glad you are having a great time, looking forward to seeing pics and talking to you soon (hopefully).
Nan seems to be starting to improve now. PTL!

Praise God for safe arrivals, buffet breakfasts and beautiful beaches. The Lord gives us all things richly to enjoy.

But I need pictures! I want pictures!
