Our Journey to Suva, Fiji

Before we left, we decided we needed to have a logo on 
our shirts, so we came up with "Eye Care 4 Fiji".  
Makes us look more official, don't you think?


Thinking this might be just a little too much luggage, Rick 
made me downsize to this, I think I did pretty good, don't you?


Now for the grueling trip ahead; flight to LA, then 7hrs layover in the airport, followed by a 12 hour flight to Fiji, concluding with a 4 hr drive to Suva.  Not something to look forward to, that's for sure!


This was no easy task, to get all of our luggage 
in this teeny tiny rental car...

After about 3 hours of driving from Nadi airport towards Suva, we got hungry!  Seeing a 'Fish & Chip' place on the side of the road seemed perfect, even if it was only 9:30 in the morning...

After meeting up with our friend Susan, she took us to our new 'flat'.  Our home sweet home for the next six months.  We really like it, it is clean, new and bug free - so far!  It's a furnished suite but of course we needed to get dishes, kitchen supplies food etc. which we did on our first day in Suva. By the end of that day, we were ready to collapse, jet lag had now set in!




Today (Sunday) we attended church which is held on the LDS College Campus.  It has a beautiful setting and is part open air, so we got to enjoy the birds flying around us while in our meetings.  
Of course Rick wanted to make sure he fit in with the native boys and men, so he wore his skirt, oops, I mean Sulu.

  1. Awesome pictures! I had a good laugh at the pile of luggage. That was a joke right??? :)
    I hope all goes well with setting everything up and I am looking forward to following your blog and adventures. Take care!
