Greetings from Fiji! Our trek took an unexpected turn today. The flight from Fiji to New Zealand was delayed "at least two hours" so Air Pacific has put us in the hotel at right for the day, including breakfast. Then, after a few hours to refresh ourselves (a shower is *very* welcome), we head back to the airport to continue our journey. Personally, I think it is a scam by Fiji to get tourists passing through to spend some time and money in Fiji on their way. Everyone is in good spirits. They announced Monica's 21st birthday on the plane just before we got off. Everyone is in good spirits and the adventure took an unexpected but very interesting turn. Chuck had some problems that caused him to get to LAX a little late, so our initial Kodiak session had to be abbreviated. However, this extra time in Fiji is letting us get entirely caught up. The food on the plane was surprisingly good, and the food in Fiji is, um, interesting. Cheers for now!
