We Made It - Jay



Some stories are good news / bad news. This one is pretty much just good news.

Despite leaving the house about 20 minutes late, we got to the airport in plenty of time. Special thanks to the Dishotsky – Everett household for driving us to the airport.  Upon arrival at our terminal, we were able to sit at the pub and have a drink. Karen had a Lemon Drop Martini, and I had a Martzen.

Our flight from San Jose to LAX was on time and was uneventful. Got about a to minute cat-nap along the way.

We checked in for our Fiji flight and chose the correct security line (dumb luck).  The boys grabbed a last fast food meal (@ McDonalds). Then we were able to board for our flight.

Kids did some homework. Factions are so much fun! Then a little bit of Ipod for the last time… then 5 hours of sleep (for the kids).

Arrived in Nadi (pronounced nandi) Fiji at 5:30am. We were picked up by driver Roheet. Completed the 3 hour journey around the island to the other side. Arrived at Joe and Terri Gureno’s house in the capital city of Suva.

So, we are alive and well. It is hot. It is humid. 

And with Joe and Terri's pool, it was perfect!
