The Fiji Dollar - Jay



"Do they have different money in Fiji?" Why yes Easton, they do. Its called the Fiji Dollar. Notes come in denominations of F$1, F$2, F$5, F$10, F$20 and F$50. Coins are in the amounts of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 cents and one dollar.

Today's exchange rate is 1 USD to 1.77 Fiji Dolars or for each 1 Fijian dollar we spend 57 Cents.




Smile!!!

When good people do great things... We should thank them! And we should smile!

As part of our preparation for our journey to Fiji, we collected a few items to take along with us. We scavenged through the garage and found some toys that we can share with the kids of our hosts and any children we come across on our visit. Many of them are un used McDonalds Happy Meal toys; Stickers and stuff; and Birthday goodie bag extras that we kept in a bin for a situation just like this.

Additionally, we visited the Dentist of our kids, Dr. Elizabeth Patrick, DDS. Not only is she (and her hygienist) fantastic with the boys and their teeth, but she is also a good person!

I walked into her office today and told her what we were doing on this trip. She was excited for us and the boys. Then, she generously offered up two bags of Toothbrushes to take with us.

Fantastic.

If you are looking for a great Dentist, give her a call:
