Fiji New Years Update: Day 1

We're here!! After a flight from Phoenix to LA and a 9 hour layover, we departed LA at 9:30 pm on Saturday, Dec 26th for a 10 hour flight and arrived in Nadi at 5:30am safe and sound on Monday, Dec 28th. We crossed the international date line and completely lost the 27th. After a quick stop at the Duty Free shop, we embarked on a 3 hour scenic bus ride of the coast, drinks already in our hands, to Taunovo Bay. Here are some shots from the bus ride and pit stops...

Our gracious and hospitable host Tony Alfaro...

We were greeted with friendly faces and cold smoothie fruit drinks by the hotel staff, who were more than accommodating upon our arrival. It was raining on and off, but being from Arizona, that was OK by me! We were given our keys and escorted to our rooms, which are just as impressive as the pictures from the website.

After a nap and getting settled, we of course had to take time to enjoy our first sunset in paradise from one of the many hammocks on the property...



More tomorrow!
