Flying home!

Day 30 Hawaii-Fiji-Brisbane, Aust, Sunday/Momday 16-17th October

Huge day! Up at 4am Sunday 16th October in Honolulu and shuttle pick up at our  hotel at 5am to take us to the airport! On arrival informed our Air Pacific flight to Nadi was delayed and would leave at 10.15 instead of 8.10! Oh well - breakfast, a wait and some great chatting with fellow passengers saw us finally board and leave Honolulu at 10.45am! Fabulous views and amazing colours on a glorious sunny day!

Two movies and a meal later Fiji appeared out of the clouds like a green/blue jewel where we put down in Nadi, were treated to the Fijians welcoming song and music, and a few more hours wait until we winged our way into Brisbane, arriving at 11pm Monday 17th October!  - would have been 3am Monday morning back in Honolulu where we started our day!  A long day!

Good to be home, even though a little chillier here! Great to see Jacque and Glenn!
