L.A. to Fiji

Got on the flight from L.A. to Fiji around 10:30 as scheduled, and as luck would have it, the plane was only half full. I managed to get an entire row to myself, after moving around, but it didn't do any good, I still didn't get any sleep.
Upon arriving in Fiji, I started looking for a place to stay, and was booked in by a lady there at the Downtown Backpackers Hostel in Nadi. Upon getting there, I realized that this was one of the places on my list that I did not want to stay after looking at it on the Internet, and checking inside, I remembered why. Dirty ripped mattresses, sweltering hot in a three story concrete oven in the middle of a muggy city. Pass, thanks.
I managed to book a 'Bula Pass' and 5 nights stay in the Chain of Islands running up from the northwest side of the island. A Bula Pass is a boat pass for transportation between the islands.
The first place I booked was way up north at the farthest island at Sunrise resort, a 5 hour boat ride away. Got there, settled in, had supper and went to bed at 7. Being up for 36 hours, I was pretty exhausted, but had a good sleep that night.
