Fiji!!? Yep, Fiji.

Our close friends, Deborah and Nathan, asked us if we would be game for a five day trip to Fiji. Hmmm...let me think about that...of course we went. It was a much needed trip away and we had a fabulous time. We love traveling with them.

One of our favorite days in Fiji was spent traveling four hours, one way, on a bus ride to the branch office of Jehovah's Witnesses. It was a long ride, but when we arrived, it made it all worth it. The family there is about 40 people, just a little bit bigger than our family in Guam. They have a beautiful branch full of beautiful, friendly people from all over the world. As you might have noticed, this brother is wearing a what is called a sulu. It is not a skirt...although it might look like one. They say it is very comfortable. Wearing one is optional, but it is completely acceptable business and service attire.




This is the view from the branch. Fiji is a huge island. Like we said, it took us four hours, one way, to get to the branch. And we only went half way around the island to get there. Comparably, you can drive around the whole island of Guam in a little over an hour. Fiji is mountainous and lush. Every turn looks like you are in a picture in National Geographic. The branch is in a large city, but when you get out in rural areas, it is just breathtaking.

One of our last days in Fiji, we spent all day on this sailboat. It was so relaxing. One of our stops was 'Castaway' island, where the movie Castaway was filmed.
