http://www.diplomatt.org/2013/09/15-hours-in-fiji.html
Monday, September 16, 2013. 15 Hours in Fiji. On the other hand, the day was enlightening.

Friday, September 20, 2013. Paul and Bex's Wedding. The impetus for this trip was Paul's Wedding, which was today, and Jim's wedding, which is next weekend. Rather than writing out an entire post about all this, I'm going to enjoy the festivities and leave you with some pictures from today's events. The wedding was held at the Tofua trench on the south side of Upolu. I hope you're well. All of the wedding's guests rode a Samoan bus from Apia to Tofua. Dan, Blakey, AJ, and Chris. Karen / Dave 83.
