Alooooooha peeps
Landed in Fiji after an hour or so on the tarmac at Sydney Airport. Was okay as I had a great book to read. Its called Black Ice and Lou and Damien gave the series by the author. Love these books. Should have bought the next book in the series coz almost finished the book on the plane = silly me!
So the flight to Fiji (Fun In the Jungle Islands) was PACKED with kids. I think I am now put off!! I would be a bad mother, I'd put my iPod on and probably leave them on the plane!! Note to Lou and Damien..... bring noise canceling headphones for our trip to Fiji!!!
Landed in Fiji and literally walked from one plane to the next. Bit better than having a 2 hour layover. This plane was smaller, and we stopped over in Apia (Samoa) to drop off and pick up passengers. I met a super nice Hawaiian on this leg of the flight who was on vacation visiting family. He works over here in Waikiki so will hang out with him once I finish Molokai.
So I have my Dodge Charger... I am an awesome driver. Driving on the other side of the road doesn't freak me out. I even managed to stop at the stop signs and make a right turn with no issues = Becci is awesome (ok enough of self ego rubbing - waaaa whatevs)!!
No GPS in the car... I am a search and (destroy) find type of person. With a full tank of gas and a vague idea where to go, I was in the 'lets see what happens' kinda mood. And so far, everything is working out PERFECTLY!! I got to my hotel, parked by 830am. Check-in is at 3pm, but went to the check-in desk and they said my room was ready (like seriously OMG). Had my bag bought to my room. Unpacked (race gear hidden away - as someone wise once said 'dont live the race now' (I think thats right). Thank you to this person - you know who you are. And BTW: luck has nothing to do with it = top 5 best quotes EVER.
So now I am in the hotel lobby tapping madly at this AWEOMSE Apple keyboard (gots to gets me one a dees) my iPhone 3Gs at the internet store being charged and setup for data/calls etc. All on track.
So now what do I do? Call Erin/Kathryn/Pura and Hank. Pop over and see Erol for a surf. Probs call Ryan and organise a surfing trip on the south coast and pop over to Ala Moana shopping center. NO NAP REQUIRED for this traveler loving the vibe on being on vacation, loving in my heart, yellow Nikon watch on (amongst other clothing and accessories!!) and generally super excited to be here.
Just had a Starbucks tall Iced Caramel Machiato (cant spell and dont care!) and think I have about 5 more minutes left out the post 30 minute allowance... !!! Eekkk.
Actually saw someone get their 15ft and 12ft paddle boards from the oversized baggage area from my flight ahhhhhhhh annoying. But the customs officer said that they probs paid heaps of excess baggage so that made me feel better. Plus, sending it prior was a good idea because there is no way I could have gone to get my hire car and put 13kg board on soft racks in front of them!
Love and Aloha to all
Dipsy/Sandra: sorry for hanging on you so quickly yesterday, I was boarding and the lady was like 'GET OFF THE PHONE' and was like 'erm, okay'.
