24-Nov – Fairwell Fiji

Hello,

We are saying fare well to Volivoli resort today and Fiji tomorrow. We are leaving the resort this evening around 6:00 pm and heading to Nadi, where we will spend the night in a hotel. Our flight to Auckland leaves pretty early tomorrow morning so rather than get up at 3:00 am to make the flight we thought this a better idea. It has been a great week. We had a great week of diving and ending on a really high note yesterday. Two great dives, “Mellow Yellow” and my favorite dive, “Purple Haze”.  Great dives.  We have also met some great people, which we hope to stay in touch with.  On a side note we were talking with the resort owner the other night and telling him of adventure and mentioned that we would like to work if possible.  He is from New Zealand and owns several businesses there.  He has kindly offered to pass our resumes on to these businesses to help us out.  Very kind of him.  It never hurts to have contacts.

Hope you are all well and staying warm.  Jane, it’s good to know the house is still standing and has not burned down yet. Has Hannah been having wild parties?  🙂   Hannah………   🙂

More when we get to Auckland.
