savusavu to Nadi To Hawaii.

We left savusavu about ten inthe morning, driving to a couple of shacks in a cow field where the Airport is located.

we were weighed with our hand luggage.

we arrived safely taking some spectacular photos out of the air plane window.

We drive into Nadi town and went shopping,,my cold  returned on that short plane ride so i went to a pharmacy , the young clerks

 did not understand whet I needed So I finally asked for the pharmacist, who sold me a sudafed product,,which worked

We had lashed out on business class tickets so that the 7 hour journey would not be too hard on us.

We were flying  Figi Air, there were 8 business class seats.  We had to check in at 3 o clock for the 6 o clock flight, but we could sit iin the  business lounge which was comfortable, free booze etc. the Virgin flight to Sydney. had veen cancelled u ntil the mext day..and the lounge was full of folks ...  with babies.  the president of China was due that day and the road to the airport was going to be shut so there were lots of people milling around.

Our flight to hawaii had a stop over ar Apia , Western Samoa...we assumed that we would just wait on board but no we had to exit with all our luggage (hand). and then we once again went through security with lots of patting down,,,even babies.

An hour later we reboarded, but then we were offerred another full meal, which we turned down.

there was one new passenger in. business so he ate, meanwhile we snuggled downfor aleep,  what with 

 sudafed etc I managed to fall sound asleep when I was poked and shaken by the 

stewardess,,,she had stupidly parked her bag behind my seat and as I was fully reclined she could not get at it....I had taken off my ear machines, and she was talking  behind me.....asleep confused and ina temper I wondered what on earth she wanted....but by then the damage was done...wide awake for the rest of the trip.  

We arrived in Hawaii three in the moning and of course it was still friday the 21st.our travel agent whobooked  our Hawaii stay had bookd us for the  22nd.

Fortunately there were cars and hotel rooms available.  and here we are.

now the 22nd and we realize that we shall be here over American Thanksgiving...We leave around mid night on that day , the 27' arriving Seattle about 6 and flying i to Victoria on Friday the 28th.

I walked around and found someone to rplace myntelus Sim card. so am back on my old telephon number
