Fiji - The World's Friendliest Paradise

I was fortunate to be able to visit the beautiful Fijian Islands a couple of years ago, and got to see many of the different resorts such as Castaway Island Resort, Malolo Resort, and others. I also got to take the three day blue lagoon cruise and they almost had to drag me off the boat at the end. It is a wonderful way to see totally unspoiled islands. The snorkeling is the best I have ever experienced. At night, the crew comes out on the deck and plays guitars and everyone is invited to join in on a sing-along. Every morning, the captain would announce by loudspeaker swim time, and you could go out for a morning swim. The meals were fabulous, and they always had morning and afternoon tea. The first picture you see is the crew of the cruise singing us a traditional Fijian farewell song. The music in Fiji is wonderful!

We enjoyed some of the local songs and dances at Castaway Island Resort as well as the traditional Fijian Kava Ceremony.

The first picture shows Chickie relaxing in a hammock while on his visit to Tahiti. We had to use bullfrog sunscreen to keep him from getting fried.

Chickie is frightened in the Overwater bungalows

Chickie was fortunate to visit the Tahitian islands with Michael Cottam, one of the co-founders of thebigday.com and one of my co-workers David Seeberger (The Travel Man). Here he is enjoying one of Tahiti's finest - Hanano beer. He was also able to visit several of the resorts including The St. Regis Resort in Bora Bora.

He did get a scare when he was in his first overwater bungalow and he saw an unusual creature swimming by - See photo.

The marine life is truly amazing in Tahiti, but this is one we had never seen before.
