JOAN!!!

During our term break vacation, my twin sister, Joan, arrived to spend ten marvelous days with us! On our way to Nadi, the day before, we stopped along the way and bought some "ivi" of which we were told to cook for a long time and add water if it ran out. I think we bought them because the kids were so cute! This next stand had a row of plants that are used for making curry.



We met Joan at the airport in Nadi on May 2nd at 5:30 in the morning!



Went back to the Wailoaloa Hotel, where we had stayed the night before, for breakfast and check-out.





Then we were on our way across the top of the island-----first stopping at the botanical gardens, Garden of the Sleeping Giant, just out of Nadi.











Stopped for lunch at Wa Resort --quite nice! Must remember!







On our way again. Down the Eastern side of the island. Narrow roads--villages--people--terrific country!











After our trip home from the airport, we spent some time in and around Suva,and downtown at the market.









Look at the next postings for our Navua River Trip, the stay out at Leleuvia Island, and our trip back to the airport.

Eternal Blessings!

May 10, 2014 marked a very special day in the lives of the Karunanayake Family...and our lives.. being a part of this occasion. We had taught them their temple prep class and became really good friends. They were sealed as a family for all time and eternity! Aunt Joan was also here for this event, of which we were also grateful.

We took lots of pictures all around the temple.

A Real Happy Family!
