Favorite memories:

• Poasa’s homestay and the hat we left for him/the photo we mailed to him after.

• Taking a tour to a waterfall in Taveuni where our drivers were unsure of whether to ford a river by car, and made the decision to after a family en route to church did it.

• Having my husband saving me from said waterfall - the water was so cold and moving so fast!

• All of the cats we met!

• Hiking, swimming, SUP, & snorkeling - so much fun in the ocean and jungle.

• Staying in a cabin right on the ocean - not quite overwater bungalow but damn near close with the tides.

• Take a love note from a server at a delicious restaurant in Taveuni to his lover on another island we would be staying at.

• Being on the international date line.

• Experiencing some of the best snorkeling off shore - the ocean floor just dropped and far enough out the sea life was majestic!

• Recovering quickly from a knee cap to metal boat incident, which also resulted in a room upgrade at our final hotel on the outer islands.
