IM HERE!!

January 25, 2007 - Nadi, Fiji

I made it to Fiji! After the most horrible 11 hour plane ride, I am at my first stop! The airport was absolutely horrible....for some reason the disposable cameras I got for Christmas set off the bomb detectors at LAX (Thanks Dave!) and I was logged into a computer...probably labeled a terrorist...and got my first full body pat down...or as the 2 TSA security guards call it..."a modified massage". At least I got to keep the cameras :0)

I landed in Fiji at 5am today...Thursday the 25th... The first hostel I was supposed to stay at ws full, so they upgraded me to a nicer one that is right on the beach! It is called Aquarius Fiji...and it is so beautiful! I will post up the pictures of it when I can... I am staying with 3 other people...one interesting guy from another country that apparently doesnt like wearing clothes.... I have met a ton of different people already and cant wait to head out to the islands tomorrow morning at 7am!

I will post up so more journals and hopefully pictures if I figure out how to download them...it might take a few days though bc im not sure what the little islands have as far as the internet goes! I love you all and miss you! I wish you could see this place! Its beautiful!

Happy birthday Deanna!! It may have already been you're birthday, but whatever it's your birthday here. I hope you have met some cool people to celebrate with. I would send you a sweet package but since you're on the opposite side of the Earth, you'll have to deal with just a happy birthday. I hope to see pictures up soon.
