Time to leaves or Gatwick its 9.30 and Lilly is playing "catch me if you can" in the garden. This cat knows we are going on holiday all those bags and people in the house she has sussed us out. I try and play it cool by sitting nonchalantly in the garden and casually walk into the house and try and grab her on the way , but she leaps off into the bushes again. I give up and walk indoors and suddenly she comes indoors. Everyone in the car and we are off, Simon. E...

We enjoyed another day in Fiji before our taxi arrived for the start of our journey home. Although it was more cloudy it was very hot and we knew we had to prepare ourselves for a change of temperature. The journey home went according to plan. We had a 4 hour stopover at LA airport to break the two 10hr flights.We arrived home on a wet and dull Sunday and when it was dark at 4pm, we realised we were now back in winter. We were now back to reality and Christmas n...

We never have lazy days, so this was going to be it. A run, some swimming, some snorkelling a foot massage, eating and drinking and finished our last night here with a Fijian Show. Very nice! Tomorrow is going to be much the same except we make our way to the airport in the afternoon. The Fijians are really lovely and this resort is first class, and very few people are here, there are probably more staff than guests. Our trip is nearly over so Graham has spent t...

We have now got to adjust to different daylight hours, it doesn't get light until later here so we found that we didn't wake up so early. The laid back Fijians were still cleaning the pool when we were going for our early morning swim so we had to delay that until after breakfast. We booked a snorkelling trip to some offshore Islands. As our resort is on the way we were being picked up later than the rest of the passengers. The boat was quite full so we ...

A very early start this morning as our flight for Fiji left at 6.50am. It was sad to leave New Zealand but 3 nights in Fiji was something to look forward to. We really weren't sure what we had booked in Fiji as it seemed like a good deal at the time. I knew it was near Nadi and everyone says Nadi is a bit of a dump where you get hassled. However our resort is a few miles out of Nadi and is very nice. We probably won't even get to Nadi. There is a good s...
