Hello mate, Sounds like your doing exactly the same itenery as me and my mate dan. we fly to US for 3 weeks on October 4th, then fiji for 3 weeks, then nZ for 3 weeks, then oz for xmas/nye for a year.
No offence to this forum, but its only new, if you want a really good website try
http://www.bootsnall.com/Ive been on it for about a year and have found out most of my questions on that, there are loads of really experienced travellers on their that can help.
Personally we are going to do the fiji experience tour when we arrive, so that our accomidation is sorted by them and we make friends easier.
Email me if you want any more advice.
