Family From Home!

February 19, 2014: The drive from Suva, where we live, took us three hours; we had traded our car for a 10- passenger van; made reservations at the Tanoa International for the night (with swimming pool); and were ready for them. We were waiting and excited!!

We watched for little feet and several suitcases under the doors of Customs...and there they were! And they were excited to see us too!


Clint, Holly, Carly, Jay, Fred and Lexi! Backpacks and rolling suitcases!



We ate the first night out on Denarau Island at a place called "Bone Fish"... on the deck! just the four of us! The kids were at a playland in the same complex that fed and entertained them! They loved their evening and so did we :)


First adventure included traveling to the North end of the island; stopping at a market to buy some food; and then heading on a boat from Ellington Wharf to Nananu-i-ra Island and McDonalds Resort.






We had two bures to stay in; Clint and Holly had Fred and Lexi; we slept in with Carly and Jay.... then the fun began! Snorkeling, walking on the pier, feeding the fish, kayaking, just relaxing; nice time! Clint brought a inflatable long board that was worth it's weight in gold :)























These pictures say it all!! Fun moment in our lives!!

Just around Suva!

After the leisurely time on Nananu-i-ra Island, we traveled back to Suva to show Clint, Holly and family where we live, work, and play. It was a rainy, wet day; but, we didn't let the weather stop us from going to church and then enjoying the sites of Suva.

The Navua River Trip

February 25, 2014: We took Monday and headed with Clint's family to Navua River to take the scenic trip up the river to the waterfalls and see a local village. This was our last real day with them unil they return from New Zealand for just a day. Absolutely a marvelous idea for the end of our time with them! Look at this adventure!
