Comments	There were only two things bad about this trip. It was raining when first arrived...though it did not last long. The other was leaving. The Fijian people are very welcoming and happy people. We made two land trips into small Fijian villages and the reception from each village was wonderful. More on that later. From the West coast...just one flight. About 11 hours...9.5 on the return. You do cross over the international dateline; so there goes a day a the front end. Fiji sure beats the 4-5 flights plus boat ride you need for diving Indonesia.

Some of the Volivoli staff came from this particular village. We were greeted Fijian fashion with many in the village singing a song of welcome. After the welcome ceremony, we were lead into one of their gathering places and there we elected our King...who would then participate in the KAVA ceremony. Everyone in our group also drank the KAVA. The drinking of KAVA is part of the Fijian culture and not simply a ceremonial thing. We participated numerous evenings over the coarse of our stay. Nothing crazy about KAVA...though you do experience a numbing feeling on your tongue and lips. There is no High associated with the drinking of KAVA. After the KAVA ceremony we went on a hike to a swimming hole with a natural waterslide. Before leaving the village we had an opportunity to make a donation or buy art and jewelry and other trinkets.
