I'll write more later. By the way --- why didn't anybody tell me toddlers and 9.5 hour flights don't mix!?
This is a REAL Fijian Village (with a REAL chief...who we met and presented a gift to allow us to visit - more on that later)
Our "bure" (or fancy little hut that looked like it was decorated by Fiji Pottery Barn...)
Our helicopter to/from the island. Only 10 minutes from Nadi. Or you can take a boat which takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
There was this "rock" next to our island. Every night bats would fly over from it to suck blood from young women. Well, not really. But that would have been pretty cool if they did.
One of 500 pictures I took from the helicopter. can you believe my daughter fell asleep? She's awake for the plane ride, but fell asleep on a 10 minute helicopter ride?! (sheez!)
Sunrise...
That looks like paradise to me!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear the rest of the story . . .

Wow beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThats one thing that has stopped me from really pursuing vacation planes - traveling with the kids.
It looks like lots of fun!
This looks FABULOUS. And for possibly the first time ever, I'm not using the term sarcastically!
ReplyDeleteWelcome home! Can't wait to hear more about the trip.
ReplyDeleteIncredible!!
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful! Can't wait to read more.
ReplyDeleteOh wow. Just amazing. Did you go get some bottled water? LOL
ReplyDeleteUm, dude, I wouldn't THINK we had to TELL you that 9.5 hour ANYTHING and TODDLERS don't mix, but that's a new dad for ya!
Beautiful pics.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pics. Wish i would have fit in your luggage.
ReplyDeleteWow! I'd be happy with a helicopter ride to anywhere.
ReplyDeleteWOW! That's beautiful Tony! So, did you make it to the Popeye's there?
ReplyDeleteAnd you came back????
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos!
what perty pictures!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear about the trip! I've missed you! xoxo
I am SO jealous! I can not wait to hear about the trip!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm officially jealous now. Really, really jealous. I might even pout a bit.
ReplyDeleteUh, yeah, I should've warned you... children and flying in general just don't mix. But I'm glad you had a great time!
ReplyDeleteLooks like Lost. Did you see the survivors of Oceanic flight 815? Awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteNext time you go, can I sneak in your suitcase?
ReplyDeleteSo, spill the beans...would you recommend it? Cuz the hubs and I have an appointment with the travel agency in a few weeks to book our vacation and I'm still hunting for the perfect get away...
ReplyDeleteRedneck Mommy - Absolutely! I'll post more once I'm caught up at work, but the place we stayed was perfect for either couples or parents with small kids (I would say around 2-5)
ReplyDeleteThere wasn't much at all for teenager s or pre-teens. Unless they want to swim all day in the pool or snorkel in the ocean.
sourpatchbaby - with the suitcase we packed we could have probably fit 2 people.
wayabetty - No...we didn't see any Popeye's...only a McDonald's driving to the airport in Nadi. I'm guessing it's probably in Suva (the big city)
"Kelli BoBelli" -- that's all we drank "Fiji" water...so nice
Whirlwind - the plane with a toddler wasn't easy. Getting there was 11.5 hours....but it was worth it the flight. The place was amazing.
WOW. Am dying for more photos.
ReplyDeleteNannies? Waited on like royalty? Other people with kids? I'm sold.
ReplyDeleteWhere do I sign up?
Awesome. Looks so relaxing and.. awesome. Vote Fiji for President and make all your wild dreams come true.
