Today is our last full day. We leave Fiji Tuesday night and arrive in DFW about 90 minutes before we left Fiji after crossing over the International Date Line.
We had no plans to leave the hotel grounds while here and are keeping to that today. A leisurely breakfast and some time by the pool. We ran into Kelly and Dan at the pool and spent time chatting with the
m. They’re planning their wedding to take place next winter and are thinking of having it in Arrowtown, one of our favourite towns on the South Island. Fun to reminisce about our time there & give them suggestons.We had seen jet skis when we had stayed at the hotel before the cruise and were thinking of renting one. Neither Kelly nor Dan had been on one before, so we rented two. The hotel had a course marked off with buoys in the bay and sent us on our way.
This would be the fun couple's last daring activity! The course was triangular and run counterclockwise. Nancy had never been on a jet ski, I opened it up and we headed for the course with Dan and Kelly in hot pursuit. We had great fun. Thirty minutes later we came ashore with sore hips and very sore butts. Dan mentioned that it must be beer o’clock by then. We joined them for a couple of drinks and a very interesting wide ranging conversation.
We had pizza on the balcony listening to the ocean.
And that’s it for the last day. The only plans for tomorrow are lunch at the Hard Rock to pick up yet another shirt, pack the bags and Wilson and visit the pool. That busy day probably won’t warrant a blog entry of its own. It’s been a fantastic trip!
Today observation:
A Kiwi term for an airline flight attendant is “trolly dolly”. Funny term, but it may not be a wise idea for us to use it.
