Leaving Fiji Today

  I know we left Fiji almost a month ago (though our hearts will never leave Fiji), but we just wanted to post the final day of our trip.     Our bure where we Lived Life in the slow lane.     All packed and ready to go before breakfast. We weren’t actually leaving the island until around 5 tonight, but we needed to vacate our bure as the next guests were arriving at 10:30 and they needed to get it ready for them.     We are going to miss our fresh, as in really, really fresh, fruit bowl in the morning.     Lucky us, the morning trip was snorkeling.     If you have a later departure on the day you leave Navini, you move to what is called the day room, and is it ever nice. You’d think they do this on purpose to make sure you want to return to Navini sometime.     The morning outing where new friends are quickly made.     Sand Cay in sight.     Snorkel babe ready for some fun.     Snorkel babe having fun.     First fish.   Blue and yellow fish.

And to make her completely ecstatic, just after I took this photo I gave her my three slices of tomato. Happy Linda. If breakfast is over, it must be time to order lunch.   There is not one thing there that isn’t absolutely mouthwatering good, making it, as always, hard to chose. Chicken burger and pineapple dessert for me, the Thai egg salad and chocolate chip ice cream for Linda. A light rain was falling as I came back to
