Extreme hammock surfing.

We made it to Fiji...and it is beautiful here. We may never leave.

The beach where we are staying is exactly as I had hoped it would be, and our room is way better than I imagined. We are staying at the Fiji Beachouse in Korolevu which is about 2 hours from Nadi, the capital. I guess when I thought of Fiji I pictured a million resorts, and maybe a shopping mall look, although I wasn't hoping for that. I was hoping for small little towns, hard working & friendly people, beautiful palm trees, a laid back & happy vibe, beaches and lush greenery. THAT is what we got.

So far we've...laid in a hammock, eaten fruit, laid in a hammock again, walked around the beach, napped in the room, laid in a hammock, eaten more food, watched the ocean, slept, laid in a hammock.... you get it.

The people here are so incredibly friendly. We're going snorkeling in a few minutes. I'll try to post some pictures later in the week...so you can be super jealous.

A bit of inspiration for your travels...

"So never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, you know what? It's probably worth it."

You guys are going to have such an amazing and life-changing experience, and I can't wait to read all about it.

Remember - postcards.
