Took us 27 hours door to door and we finally made it! We can’t describe how excited we are to finally begin our travels! This week we’re staying at the Wananavu Resort on the main island in Fiji and it’s stunning! The hotel’s tag line is ‘the real fiji’ and so far it’s lived up to it. To get here we drove 3 hours from Nadi Airport passed through several small villages and down a dirt road into a remote peninsula where the hotel is located. Wananavu is the Fijian equivalent to many English words for wonderful, amazing, great etc. They wrap it all into one word. So far this place is definitely Wananavu! Our room is a gorgeous bure decorated with Fijian art and overlooks the Pacific ocean. What has impressed us the most however are the staff. They’ve been incredibly friendly and helpful! I’d like to say that we arrived and ran straight for the ocean however I won't be doing any running for a few days. A couple days before we left Vancouver I seriously threw my back out of wack and now it’s severely buggered. Walking and sitting have me whimpering so I've spend the first two days in bed trying to heal up. Fortunately my view from the bed isn’t too shabby! Chris also had the misfortune of catching a cold before we left but so far seems like the South Pacific air seems to be fixing him up! Wifi is paid by the hour and part of our plan this week is to unplug so you likely wont hear from us again for a few days. We'll have lots of stories and more pictures in the days to come though!

What a beautiful place. After that long a flight I am not surprised to hear your back is worse Nicole and your cold has taken hold Chris. A few days of R+R and hopefully you will both be feeling better...keep taking those T3s Nicole.

Fiji looks beautiful! Wish we could be there with you but I guess I'll have to settle for living vicariously through your blog. Take care of yourselves and tell Chris to wear his sunscreen!
