14 Jan 10 -- Denarue Island, Fiji

Janet was first in the pool. On arrival in Fiji we headed for the time share on Denarue Island near the town of Nadi. Our luggage didn't make it but we did have swimsuits in our carry on baggage, so we were all set or so we thought. Our bags didn't arrive and didn't arrive. Doug's was two days late but Janet's did not show up for the seven days we were in Fiji.



Unlike men in the U.S., Fiji men have an option in dress. They wear a "sulu" on dress up occasions, a skirt. The police wear white skirts as a dress uniform.











We sat here many times enjoying the sounds of the ocean. This is the South Pacific.

14 Jan 10 -- Nadi, Fiji

Just got of the plane in Naji, Fiji. This is the tropics and was very hot and humid with us just leaving the US in the winter time. This is January but summer in Fiji. We lost a day, the 13th of Jan. but will gain it back when we fly back to the US in about a month and a half.

12 Jan 10 -- The Southern Hemisphere

Janet and I are on our way to New Zealand and points south. We expect to stop in Fiji on the way. Parked the Airstream in Laughlin, NV and a friend of Janet's drove us to Las Vegas to catch a flight to Los Angeles.

We had a long layover in LA but finally got on a big Air Pacific 747 for the 10 hour flight to Fiji.

Now we are just setting in the LA airport waiting for time to pass so we can board the plane to Fiji.
