Bula from Fiji!

We enjoyed 4 short days in lovely Fiji, retuning after 7 years.   Crusoe's Retreat is still an island paradise on Viti Levu with great diving and lush sea life, surrounded by tropical flowers, birds, and warm sunny skies every day.   We stayed in a grass hut on the beach.    Beautiful!

After attending a delicious local Fijian village dinner, I learned some life lessons from the Fijians.   For example, they always greet you with a smile, saying "Bula!" (which means "aloha").   They believe:   You always smile and sing, no matter what is happening.   Stay close to your clan (family).   Enjoy life and share with everyone.   Live simply, off the land, and care for it.   In any crisis, say "Singnalinga" (no worries!).    Oh, to live and think like a Fijian!

We will be back again and again!
