Fiji

 We finally made it to Nadi, Fiji!  We were greeted at the airport by someone from the resort.  Made us feel so welcome!

 We got settled into the resort, and decided to go explore Nadi.  

Unemployment here is around 60% so we were told.  These were grown men, in the middle of the day, out playing.

The price of everything here was so cheap, and then add in the fact that we got $1.77 Fijian dollars to one of our dollars, made things really cheap!

 The grocery store was a little scary, and kind of dirty.  The ceiling was falling in, and there were buckets catching water from the leaking roof.

 I thought this building called "New World" was pretty funny.  Looks like we stepped back in time about 30 years!

 We hung out that evening at the pool, watching frogs and geckos.

 Next morning we had a cruise to Tivua Island. It was raining like crazy.  It's warm rain, so it's ok. 

 Dean insisted on getting his picture taken with Captain Cook.  Weird!

 Through out this whole trip, we just kept saying "can you believe we are here?!"  Here we are out in middle of the ocean, going to a tiny island in Fiji!

 We had amazing food cooked for us on the little island

 Ready to take a picture and our boat's captain decided to step in.  He was such a funny guy! 

 This is what that picture was supposed to look like.  Check out the mask imprints on their faces.  We snorkeled for hours, and still couldn't get enough!

 This is the glass bottom boat that shuttled us from the big boat to the island.

 After spending the day on this island, I'm not feeling so bad for Gilligan and the crew of the SS Minnow! 

I loved this island!

 The crew was great too.  They drove the boats, were the entertainment, and also the cooks.  Fun group!

  We got back to the resort in time to grab our bags and head for the airport.  

We loved our short time in Fiji!

Awesome trip!  Good to be home.

   Krista picked us up from the SLC airport, and Amanda was willing to let us come over so we could see those stinkin' grandkids that we missed so much!
