• Early Morning Travel to Fiji

    March 6, 2025 in Tonga ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    There were even more people staying in the house tonight, so my room got given up, and I slept on the outside couch on the porch for my 3h nap from 11:30pm to 2:30am. Had a mosquito coil burning the whole time and put on some bug spray so not too bad for bugs! And nice to be cool outside, although still super warm!!

    Lupe and her Husband so kindly drove me at 3am to the airport, where we said our goodbyes and made sure I got through security without getting my bags weighed as they were much over weight haha. They were even heavier than last time because I’m carrying some extra clothes and shoes for Lupe’s daughter who is going to school in Suva, Fiji right now.
    They were very impressed no one stopped me to check my bags, this palangi Canadian is lucky!

    Bought a turtle pendant necklace carved out of bone as a replacement souvenir for my lost ring, and used up the last of my Tongan cash. Got on the plane, all fine no weight the bags, and with a window seat! Napped a bit on the flight, had some food and landed in Nadi at 5:45am (1 hour time difference), half an hour early!
