Default RR: Honeymoon NOT 56k friendly

Some pictures from my honeymoon I just came back from.




The boxes were probably full of tang, spam, and fake Nike shirts. LOL. A certain ethnicity will know exactly what I'm talking about.



Cramped ass plane. 11 hours can eat my ass.



Boat.



Some small party island.



Some small party island.



Our island. No roads, no village, no cars, just a resort. You could kayak around the entire thing in around 20-30 minutes.





Our resort.



View from the dining area everyday.





Artsy fartsy shot.









This dude got me a green coconut to eat.



View I got leaving the island to go back to the main island.

That looks like an amazing place to just sit back and relax! Thanks for depressing the rest of us who didn't get to go.

Thanks for sharing!

Now that there is a vacation. If there were any waves on that island I'd be in heaven! The Balikbayan box pictures were hilarious! My parents usually cram thier boxes with canned corned beef.

darn I thought it was P.I., I saw the airline and the BALIKBAYAN Boxes and people with small noses! not to mention the man climbing a coconut tree, which I used to do also back in highschool

BALIKBAYAN: Pronounced as "BAH-LIK-BAH-YAN" which means "going back to my country" a 4 syllable word in Filipino is actually a full sentence, funny

yup. its fiji. good eyes.

singletrack? i wish. i was missing my bike big time. a bunch of them were wearing live strong bracelets. i got all excited and was asking them if they bike. they laughed at me and told me they ride boats.

thanks for the comments. this is really a cool place to unwind. id highly recommend it. they speak english and way cool people. also, the dollar is still relatively strong here.

Nice!!

My wife and I are shooting around the idea of doing something like that for our 10th anniversary in a couple years.

If you don't mind my asking--how long did you stay and what's the ballpark dollar amount it set you back?

Again, awesome pics!!

If I can't do a road or mountain bike trip, then it's gotta be a paradise trip where I can snorkel all day long!
I'm overdue for one!
