I went to Fiji with Karen, Sheila, and Bianca from November 18-22. It was an awesome way to distress post-finals. We stayed at a family resort called Plantation Island Resort on a small, secluded island. It was awesome. The resort had a bunch of different activities offered daily, and events such as bingo and frog racing were featured once a week. Some of our typical daily activities included snorkeling, scuba diving, dolphin safaris, kayaking, swimming, banana boating, hammock napping, etc. There was a bunch of coral right off the coast of the island, and we could just swim out with our snorkel stuff and find cool fish to look at. It was awesome. On our dive we saw a green turtle!

We had a few random adventures on this trip. One day Sheila and Karen went sailing, only to come back with Karen’s camera at the bottom of the ocean. At least it was waterproof. We took kayaks out to go look for it, but failed (shocking I know). We also played mini golf in this strange course that had two replicas, one of which was clearly older and covered in rubble. It was confusing. We made sure to play at both of them. Another fun activity was the “how tangled can my hair get in one day” game. This was aided by a combination of not braiding my hair before snorkeling/diving and needing a hair cut. Luckily, Bianca brought a fro pick along with her so I was able to accessorize my struggling locks.

Overall, it was a wonderful trip. A great majority of our time was spent lounging on hammocks, but we also did much more than we were anticipating.
Fun fact: Fiji water is bottled and distributed in Fiji (duh). So next time you’re buying a bottle of water (although obviously its better to use a reusable water bottle) think about how far that bottle has traveled, and how much energy it has used to get there. Instead, try to choose water that was bottled locally.
