So 65 is a big number in NZ – retirement age- but instead of a party I bought all the fam to Fiji for a “Spring Break” …. Yesterday we left NZ for a three hour flight to our island paradise!
Well as seasoned travellers know not all goes to plan….yep we sat (locked and loaded on airplane) for an extra two hours while some technical issues got sorted! While I am a fan of sorting technical issues before hitting the sky’s…. With two 17 month old babies it was a trial to say the least!
However we arrived safely …. A few hours later to a nighttime Fiji…. Got to our rooms and settled in for the night around 9 pm…. Not knowing where we were or what we were looking at!
This morning ( no daylight saving ) we all woke early to a blue sky day!
And headed to the expansive buffet breakky around 7.30am
So much for the dreaded week of rain predicted…. The morning ramped up with beach exploration…
First in the pool…
A walk to the port for fridge supplies….and a taxi back to our abode!
An afternoon relaxing outside our rooms enjoyimg the local beverages….
Number one grandson….
Number 3 grandson! Then the fun began….
Number 2 grandson and his family took the plunge!
And the family celebrated…. While the kids played, the music played and the team enjoyed a few local bevvies!
Then the promised rain came down around 5pm and we all scuttled back to our rooms to shower and change and off to a much needed dinner….….a good solid pasta for the tummy lining… and and Irish coffee (cold one Fijian style)
Russes shirt joining in the celebrations (on Jax… birthday pressie from Kev n Rols) And now in bed ready for tomorrows adventures!
All who wander are not Lost girls
