Time for pictures!

and I'll write about them.... some other time... haha. My website, so there.

This is the view... or part of it anyway. 

So this is where I spent the past 7 weeks. Rough life. 

Hey blog lady

Dooce, say something funny so I can laugh... bored and jet lagged.

Oooh oooh! Look! She's back.

Yeah, I was going to title this one something clever like "I'm back... y'all" but well, it sounded lame.

Not going to make a long post just yet, haven't got the time or the energy to be frank, but I do have a little travel cynicism I wrote waiting in the Nadi airport on Sunday:

Things I Don't Understand About Some of My Fellow Travellers
- Why white women don't understand that cornrows looke really, really ugly on them
- why they feel they need said cornrows to indicate they've been some place tropical. Why not just tattoo something on their foreheads instead? Something tasteful, like, "Recently returned from paradise -- that's right sucker, eat it." (Actually, now that I think of it, not such a bad idea! haha, neener neener neener.)
- Over all a big boo to cornrows - just saw an eight year old boy with his bangs done all up and beaded. Later on in life he's going to see those pictures and have major wrestling matches with his sexuality (possibly mud-wrestling, haha - not that there's anything wrong with that)
- Why women travel in high heels (sorry ladies, being a bit harsh today, but honestly, sometimes we do the STUPIDEST things). All they're going to do is give you blisters, corns, fallen arches, and if you're REALLY unlucky (or just a complete ditz) they'll tear the escape slide.
- Why ANYONE travels with small children - unless you're moving, or something equally important where it's pretty much a must to bring the terrible two's (I guess...), why bother? Wait till they're older - what 3 year old is going to appreciate a vacation in Fiji? They're not going to remember it, and all you'll remember is that every time the tour guide pointed our something exciting, you were too busy with a snotty nose/screaming fit/other general small-child complaint to catch any of it.
- Why ANYONE travels with a trendy cowboy hat (why anyone owns one?) Please. Madonna has given up hers, and so should you.


My props do go out, however, to the parents who let their kid travel in his spiderman pajamas. You. You go. You get the pass.

Also to the two worst dressed people of the day - the guy at Taveuni airport wh decided that any and ALL bula prints can be paired successfully, and who reminded of that immortal line of Batty the Bat: "Human tales? Humans don't have tails, they have big big bottoms that they wear with bad shorts and they walk around saying 'Hi Helen!'" (Ferngully)
And last but not least, the fat girl in the short red and white, large flower printed dress, at least a size too small and the baseball cap, who, to my chagrin turned around to display a Canadian flag on her backpack. The shame.
