We left home around 6am (NSW Daylight Saving Time) for the slow trip to Brisbane Airport. We dropped the car for storage at Apollo and took the shuttle bus to the International Terminal.
The security has changed since our last flight with the full-body scans. Alex even got a pat-down owing to "something" in his right pocket - probably a stud on the pocket of his shorts!
Had breakfast at the coffee club (even saw Ann, David and Fred Bernard who were off to Vanuatu).
The flight was uneventful - lots of tiny islands in a vast ocean. Climate change must mean so much more to these folk than us in Mullumbimby!!! We have more legroom in this plane than the much larger aircraft that we usually fly in when heading overseas AND it's only about 3 hours travel.
Flying in to Nadi Airport the first thing you notice is that the countryside is ever so green.
Off to our accommodation after much waiting around at the airport in various queues - Sofia's Airbnb.
After a quick 'settle in' we headed around the corner for quite a nice Chinese meal before heading back to bed.
