We made it safely to Fiji last night. It was a real adventure getting here with rides on an airplane, airport shuttle, helicopter and finally a tractor to get to our resort. The boys were in heaven!
Shuttle ride to the international terminal
My first helicopter ride - just amazing. Cheapest way to the island after hours.
Liam was in a HUGE helicopter phase before the ride - he was really thrilled to ride.
The resort we booked looked to be a three-star resort on a five-star beach. I think it reminds Jason of the Philippines in the 80s and he loves it! I had really low expectations considering the price we got on it - but it's very much exceeded my expectations.
Enjoying the sunset over dinner. The boys love the tepid ocean water (especially when comparing it to the "arctic" temps of NZ). Liam can't stop blowing bubbles/drinking the beach water - yuck!!!
Katie!! So glad you all made it safely. Cracked up about Charlie wanting to collect coconuts! Brave lady for getting on that helicopter! You are my hero! Hope you have a blast - it looks gorgeous there!!-- Alison
ReplyDeleteSo glad you arrived safely. Were these pictures taken before or after the tsunami scare? What fun you guys are having - how I wish we could be there with you. It does remind me of the Philippines, coconuts and all. And the helicopter ride - we were just telling friends about our earthquake in Baguio and the helicopter ride to Clark AFB - what memories of God's faithfulness. Never thought of it as a fun adventure for the boys at the time, but it probably was. Have a great time! Love you all.
