Even a year ago, when I would think of Fiji it was this far off land where couples went for their honeymoon. The water bottles were the closest I thought I would ever get! Here I am, with my bags packed, ready to adventure. I am also feeling nervous because this is the first time I will visit another island in the pacific outside of my Samoa. Will I like it more?
