Day 6 in Fiji

Up a bit earlier today as Dad has hired a car to take us to Fiji Palms on the Coral Coast. So brekkie then the car arrived to take us to dodgy brothers car hire!! It was fine. We have a nice little Toyota Corolla wagon. Air con works most of the time, and it's really hot today. Anyway we headed down the coast it's about 2 1/2 hrs from Nadi. Nice place. It's where Mum & Dad have time share. May stay there one day in the future. On the way back we stopped in at the Warwick Resort and had a drink and a bite to eat. Was nice to see the place again. We had such a great time there last year despite the weather. On our way back to the Westin now for a much needed swim...
Had our swim and a lovely dinner at the buffet again. Now back sitting outside on the deck watching lightning from a storm that's on the horizon.

Day 5 in Fiji

Another quiet day!! Loving these quiet days. Brekkie followed by a swim and relax by the pool.
I have just returned from the day spa after having my feet cleaned, buffed & polished. They feel great. Masen is sleeping and Brendan has gone for a walk with Andrew. Mia and I are just about to head off for a walk. Sun is out now and weather is beautiful. Had a little bit of rain this morning so sunny is good!!
Mia & I ended up at the shops again. Bought her a sarong this time. We found Brendan & Andrew and went up to the Sheraton Villas pool bar. That was lovely. Got a nice little tan while I was there.
Back to the room for drinks and get ready for dinner. We went to the Wet Edge Restaurant tonight. Beautiful. Sitting out on the deck with a great breeze watching the sun go down was magic whilst eating your dinner. Was a lovely way to end the day.

Day 4 in Fiji

Today we were still pretty full from dinner but went to breakfast anyway. Certainly didn't need lunch today. After breakfast we headed up to the Sheraton for a walk. Weather was a bit overcast today with a couple of light showers. Made it very hot here today. Brendan and I headed to the Westin shops quickly first and got a few bargains. Came back for a swim and coronas in a bucket by the pool.
Afternoon nap for the 4 of us then a spot of ice cream for Brendan & I while the kids were still sleeping. Late afternoon drinks, (very good at that now) then Andrew, Jodee, Brendan & I headed off to the port of call for dinner. Yummo!!! Excellent meal, excellent service. 3hrs later the 4 of us came back very full. Kids stayed with my Mum & Dad and had a great time. They caught the Bula Bus to dinner and back. Kids loved it. Was nice to have dinner without the kids for something different.
Tomorrow, dunno. Will take it as it comes. Maybe a trip to the day spa is in order.





















Day 3 in Fiji

Well today was a very quiet relaxing day. Didn't do a great deal. Tried to stay out of the sun a bit. It's brutal.
Dad, the kids and i went up to the Sheraton for a bit of shopping. Mia had Fiji money burning a hole in her pocket. She bought herself a hat and a necklace. Masen bought himself a toy turtle which he is now very attached to.
Ended up going for an afternoon swim. Masen is loving wearing his vest swimming. He can swim all by himself with it on. Went for dinner at the buffet and stuffed ourselves silly with all sorts of yummy things.
I have also added photos of Mia's hair do.

Day 2 in Fiji

Today was started with alarms on clock radios and phone calls to our room at some ungodly hour. Therefore not the best sleep but oh well. These things happen. Brekkie was lovely. Mum & I had a champagne breakfast. Great start to the day. This was followed by most of the day spent by the pool. Lovely!!!!! Was so relaxing. Mia got a little too much sun. But she will be fine. Grandma also took her to get her hair platted today too. It looks great. Will get a photo tomorrow. Afternoon nap was nice too. Dinner tonight was at the steak house. Has Cappacio and a beautiful steak. Yummo!!! Kids are now tucked up in bed and I am soon to follow. Brendan & Andrew are golfing tomorrow morning. The kids and I will find something great to do. Maybe a play at the playground.

Day 1 in Fiji

Flight was great but all the before and after airport stuff makes it feel like such a long day. Kids were fantastic on the plane. Masen only started to get a bit fidgety in the last 20mins. Hotel Westin in beautiful. Rooms are very nice and spacious. Weather is warm and sunny. Saw the most beautiful sunset when we arrived here today. Had a nice Asian style dinner tonight. Looking forward to some great sunny weather.... Hopefully.

5 sleeps to go...

Have started this Blog to keep a diary of our holiday for the kids to look back on and also for if I get time to scrap again one day I can look back at this as a reminder.

Well only 5 sleeps till Fiji!! Have started a pile of things to take. Few things for the kids. Getting cameras ready and batteries charged. So can't wait to leave all this rain in Brisbane. Hoping for not too much rain in Fiji this time.

Will be great to spend some time with the family. Kids are looking forward to getting to know their cousin Xander.
