left Boston early and it was the easiest checkin ever. The flight was less than half full and yet I still managed to be between two rows of very sad little people. But they quieted down once we got in the air as I'm sure the boys will on our big trip! A few hours in Newark and on the flight to costa rica. I was hungry so went to the lounge quickly before they closed and had the most interesting vegetarian sandwich. Avocado, pickle, tomato, cabbage, & tomato. And there was one other person there- a nice old man who spoke about as much english as I do Spanish. It was painful and embarrassing trying to talk but I think we managed the basics. I'm going to try and post this and a picture. Meeting Chelo and Adri at 7 for breakfast then all the guides. Already got an earful from danny on the way here so it should be interesting...
And back to the travels.. this time CORFU. The water is really this color blue. Really. We flew directly onto the island rather than going through Athens. First two days in Corfu Town and then drove to the northeast coast where we stayed in a private villa. Corfu Town is small and walkable. Lots of little alleys and shopping. The main “attraction” is the Old Fortress. Walk about 20 minute uphill to the top for a great 360 degree of the area. Then we drove to St. Stephano on northeast coast. We stayed in a gorgeous private villa. Check out that view!!!! We drove around to different beaches in the area. They are all unique. However almost all are rocky rather than sandy so be sure and bring water shoes. These gems were perfect: Highlight of the trip was renting a boat and spending a day randomly dropping anchor and jumping in the water. We tied up to a restaurant for lunch. Such fun!! TIP: If you are heading here it’s possible to take a ferry to the area and m...
It's Friday. Today I went snorkeling right outside our room. There were a ton of small silver fish near the beach but when we go out not too much. I did see a couple of medium sized fish, plus crabs and a lot of coral. Plus the most amazing thing - bright blue starfish!! Later it was time for Trick 'n Treating. They don't celebrate in Fiji but for the wedding all the bures (beach huts on the water where we were staying) gave out candy and all the kids went door to door. Kerry & Kevin had a cocktail Halloween party with the wedding party. I'm sitting outside our room just listening. The boys are sound asleep inside and the waves are crashing right in front of me. I can faintly hear the band from the pre wedding cocktail party just down the beach. There is a frog (toad???) looking at me and it is the biggest one I have ever seen. (about the size of my foot!). And our house gecko is making his presence known as well. This is such a tropical paradise. I can't be...
