  Upon arriving at Nadi Airport, my travel buddy, Mark and I decided to hop a seaplane to the Yasawa Group of Islands. {I had read about them in the Loney Planet Guide while inflight.} My friend and I love adventure and rarely make any serious plans...I love to see what a place offe…

The short trip to the resort gave us the first taste of the big island. It was not very touristy as you would expect from a town of fairly poor inhabitants. The route from the airport had a third-world feel. It is a somewhat unkempt town, but with a friendly no-worries?attitude. The island is heavi…

holy crap.i am still jet lagged from the long trans-pacific flight from Nadi to L.A. I am staying at a friends house with two cats whom i am slightly allergic too. I sit here, typing and drinking some tea and ask myself "where have I been the last few months??...even the last week". Culture shoc…

In the transit lounge in Fiji, just an hour from flying to Australia, it feels like we are already there. People with strong accents and thongs all around; Chicken Twisties and Cadbury Chocolate for sale at the kiosk; a branch of ANZ for currency exchange; Bryce Courtney books on the shelves of …

Our Adventurous Fijian Holiday. Our good friend Jonathan, invited us to Fiji to stay with his family and in his village, which is in a very remote part of the interior of Fiji, where white tourists just do not go. We knew this was going to be an adventure, but didn’t know just how much of an adv…

Got on the boat back to the main land and headed back to a different hostel with dave and stef. On getting there I bumped in to a group of lads I had met in the cook islands and they were with 2 guys I had met in LA. On getting there, I was watching gladiators on youtube having had a long talk abo…

Got to get out of here today and also got to sort getting to the islands, the travel desk is really not that informative, but took a guess and booked the Awesome Adventure Bula Pass, which basically lets me hop between islands for 2 weeks.  Booked my first 2 nights on an Island called Mantaray…

A very quick entry with the last 15 minutes of my very expensive internet time...  The 2 days I spent on Beachcomber Island were great.  The weather cooperated so I got to work on my tan a lot!  It was nice to have our tight-knit little group from the FeeJee Experience all together -…

We are now in Nadi which I think is the capital of Fiji and 22 hours ahead of the time in Cincinnati.  We have spent the last 3 days and 2 nights enjoying the Manta Ray Island Resort in the Yasawa Island Group of Fiji.  The last couple of mornings have been great.  We were stayin…

Day 2 In Fiji   So I woke up at about 4:00 in the morning (slowly getting used to the time zone) and watched the sunrise. Very nice. Then Melissa and I went to pick up Neno to go… skydiving! Originally it was supposed to be Melissa and I go up , and then Neno, but due to different complic…

April 19I spent the next night back on the mainland at Nadi Bay Hotel. This was nothing too exciting. My friends were preparing to leave and I was staying an extra few nights. We had dinner at the restaurant here and met lots of new people. I hooked up with some people to travel with to the Co…

My time in Fiji was really really relaxing! The first day/night I stayed on the main land in Nadi. It was a really nice backpackers. However, the beach was not nice at all and the water was really dirty....not what you expect from Fiji. Well, I thought, ok I am going to the two other islands t…
