Bula!!! From Fiji!


It was exactly today, last year that The Pacifics and friends enjoyed the most pristine part of the Pacific "in our opinion" at least. We were loving every second of beautiful Vomo in Fiji. Everything about it was amazing, so much so we all still dream and talk about it with a big smile in our faces. It's great when you dream about a place you have already been. That's a sign of GOOD TIMES!!!!
Let me start at the beginning of our trip. Nine of us flew to the beautiful islands of Fiji. It was a great group. We started with the island of Malolo which gives a more casual family feel. The food was good, the snorkeling was great, thanks to our friend Krishna who had an underwater camera, great underwater pictures & memories were created. On the other side of Malolo was Likuliku (adults only) and has the first and only over-water bures in Fiji. What a piece of heaven.
Vomo Resort was our second stop and has about 29 villas of all kinds. I think I can speak for 5 of us from the group, Vomo rocks. We all hope to visit again and again and again. It was our perfect spot, for families, singles or couples. Vomo is so private and small, that I felt compelled to walk around it. An hour and 15 minutes later, I was filled with an amazing view of frangipani trees, coconut palm trees and a sensational picture perfect memories. Vomo's food was an ongoing delicacy experience. Every meal was yummier than the other. Even the kids menu was great. Our 4 girls were always happy.
The staff at Vomo is wonderful, ALWAYS happy and smiling. From the band that plays each night to serenade you with traditional Fijian songs on guitars, ukulele and tambourines, to the staff that takes care of its sweet and modest turtle aquarium. Very rare turtles occasionally lay eggs on the island, about 100 at a time and leave them to survive on their own. Without human intervention only a handful survive gestation. The staff at vomo takes in any eggs they find and take care of them until they're big enough to cope on their own at sea. All our girls got to feed them and hold them most of our days there. It was truly dreamy.
I really can go on about Vomo but I won't. With the websites and pictures here, you'll get the idea!

Bula
