We are here!!!
A long day in queues but no problems really (yes Graeme relax, relax) Left NZ in fog and arrived after a good flight (Ali WIlliams sitting further up in the plane!) and into 29C hot sunny weather.
We acclimatised (took our jackets off) got the shuttle driver to stop on the way to the hotel at the supermarket for drinks- it helps to have 2 pretty girls with us??!! then into our rooms, bikinis and out by the pool- aaahhh fantastic!
Then onto our balcony at the Mercure for pre dinner drinks and off to the restaurant for a great laid back meal in the open air. Couldnt get better. Graeme has managed quite a stack of alcohol, Sam and Amber had midori's and a few fiji bitter beers and we had a lovely night.
The bar here has the ball "Wilson" from the movie Castaway with Tom Hanks which was filmed in Fiji and Danni got to hold him for the photo included in our pics!
Now off to lax out in our two rooms (hmmm) and we are off on the boat tomorrow at 7.30 am for the yasawa islands and Octopus resort.

I'm jealous; sounds wonderful there. I'm going to retire Jan. 8 and plan to sleep for a month and then travel a bit. I look forward to your blog posts. We dodged last 2 hurricanes and are actually in drought conditions, but it's hot (96 F) here. Bob and I are feeling good, thankfully. Will go to see Mom in Texas for Thanksgiving.
