First stop Fiji

So the flights are booked and Tim from round the world travel is booking our seats and hopefully getting us larger upgrades wherever possible. thanks Tim.

Next book all the places to stay . I must admit this takes time and lots of choices. 
Wherever possible we were looking for a place to stay with a swimming pool or near to beaches . Or if lucky both :)

We start our travels in Fiji.
It takes two days to get there, with the time difference, two flights about 13 hours total, so for this stop we are going a little more luxury. After researching hotels all over the island we wanted somewhere that you could also walk to the main town and explore the neighbourhood on foot. We also tried numerous sites such as tripadviser (always a great  place to read reviews). Then find out the best deals and finally check dates of arrival and departure and double check again. Our booking is with hotels.com

We chose danaurau island, Raddison Blu near Nadi. Who knew it isn't and Island so I passed it by on first look then after reading about it realized hey it's not an island. Can't wait to tell you all about this place. It sounds lovely with a pool and seaside. We plan to relax a little here after all the planning :)

We have booked pick up from airport and will most likely have someone local to the island drive us around for a day to see all the island. Some of the places to see. Lautoka market. Blue ginger Cafe and Smugglers cove beach. Plus we plan a boat trip out to the smaller islands.
