WOW!! What a way to begin a semester!
First, the flight from LAX to Fiji was the longest flight I have ever taken; roughly 11 hours! I will never complain about a two hour flight again… But the plane was huge and incredible!
We arrived in Fiji around 5 AM and from there rushed through customs to get to the exit and (hopefully) arrive to the ferry on time to get us to the island that we would be staying at for the next 4 days. At this point I didn’t really know many of students I was traveling with because my time in LAX was cut a lot shorter than I would have liked. [Thank you issues at the check-in counter…. *sarcasm eye roll*]
Once through the Fijian customs I had to quickly switch around a few belonging in my bags because we could only take a backpack to the island. Our bigger checked bags were then taken to the Radison Hotel on the mainland, where we would spend our last night in Fiji.
Luckily the entire group arrived at the ferry with just enough time to spare. Finally, after several plane rides, very little sleep, and tons of airport stress we were all able to relax on our three hour ferry ride to Naviti Island. This also finally gave us all time to get to know each other. The scenery wasn’t too bad either:

Once we arrived on Naviti Island we welcomed with chilled refreshments and some Fijian music and song played by the resort staff.
