pete43lost_in_paradise day 1

there must be a god, he was kind to me today.

the day before yesterday was a really bad and painful reconnection day.

somehow yesterday it eased up and i got heaps of packing and the house tidied so we could go away.

waited in the checkin queue for 90 minutes.

after being the laqst family on the plane and running to the gate, to find the gate had been swapped. we took off to fiji.

the hosty had cervical cancer, she juices and is on mcp as well. a good 4 hour flight. kids loved it.

got all our 100kg of bags, diving and underwater photography is not light weight business.

eventually found our jungle transfer to paradise, which was a good 2/2 hours very bumpy drive and dirty roads.

at each stage of this wonderful tiring day my arse could have ruined things, but my butt played it cool and did not playup. thats why i was thanking god.

in the queues, on landing, on the long drive. at any point a messy disaster could have but did not happen.

thankyou god, and may be i should thank my bowel.

the dinner on arrival was creamy chicken soup
king fish and salad
and a banana split.

my wife and kids love the resort and the native fijians here are so warm and friendly.

maybe this three break here will be the best treatment of them all. holiday therapy. another alternative i subscibe to.

took all my supplements new, they got security checked and almost made us miss the plain.
cost me $700 for all the goodies. yes an expensive habit. took my nighly dose in fiji after dinner.

also took a shiitttt load of nappies, wipes, medications and chinese herbal remedies.

also got fast wifi signed up.

hugs to all from paradise.

pete
