David s Place Yasawa Island

BULA!(Hello and welcome) I would first like to say that I am alive and well. A week of sun, warm waters, beatiful sunsets, awesome people, many new friends(of which I've been offered a place to stay in Slovania, Germany, and Australia!), lots of Kava, and of course scuba diving with sharks has kept me extremely busy! Now for some details: The trip to LA was fine. Met up with my brothers friend out there and spent the afternoon on the beach in between flights. (which was a total of 9 hours) Th...

MG: Technically, we're already in Auckland, but we wanted to make sure that Fiji was represented on the map. I'm going to be somewhat brief as the clock is ticking on the amount of time we have on the computers. Fiji was a wonderful vacation. We arrived VERY early in the morning Fiji time, but it was mid-morning Seattle time and we were really excited to be there, so we weren't too tired (plus, the flight wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be). I was really surprised (because I'm an i...

Dateline.....sometime in late April and early May Okay, today is August 24th, and I was reminded I never finished my blogging to close out my trip. I have a good excuse. A week in Fiji left a lingering since of laziness that I fear may be terminal, or at the very least, life long. I think my last entry had something to do with New Zealand, so I will pick up there. After glacier hiking (actually hiking very near a glacier) the Magic Bus gang traveled to Queenstown. We stopped along the way so ...

So we were sad to leave Seaspray but happy to get away from the mosquitos and get some electricity. We moved onto David's Place Resort which was by far the best resort we stayed at. We had a bure this time also but it was more like a beach house. When we arrived the generator was being fixed and so there was no electricity in the accommodation but there was in the bar/restaurant. Cold beer!!!! The staff were really great and they made you feel really welcome. The food was amazing (2 course br...

Bula! Well after setting out on The evening of the 28th November from Raratonga and travelling 6 hours - I have managed to arrive two days later!?! Don't worry - I'm not drunk and lost a day! Due to the fact we travelled over the international date line, Thursday 29th November does not exist this year! Strange huh!! Anyway I arrived at the airport with no where to stay - so ended up finding a corner of the airport and bedding down there with a couple of people I'd been travelling with. Woke u...

Bula! Greetings from Fiji. Rachel and I are alive and well sunned (more like burned) after our 12hr adventure across the Equator and the International Date Line. After our flight we rolled into town and met our tour agent from Davids Travel. After the formalities and upon the completion of our booking we learned 2 very interesting things. 1: Sega na Lega is Fijian for Don't worry, or No Worries (Think Jamaica, Mon!) 2: Pay no attention to the fact that the military have the Minister under hou...
