Woo hoo!

I’ve managed to score a trip to Fiji thanks to the nice people at Tourism Fiji.

This trip is part of promoting a new Sydney-Fiji service with Jetstar that commences on Monday 29 March 2010.

Jetstar will be flying regularly between Sydney and Nadi.

You can find out more about this new Sydney-Fiji Flight here!

I’ll be on this Sydney-Fiji Flight to one of the friendliest places on Earth.  I haven’t been to Fiji myself yet, but am looking forward to it!

I know others who have been there and have loved the experience, especially the hospitality of the Fijian people.  I’m also keen to add Fiji to my Beer Index, which measures the affordability of a country by its beer.

One of the things that Fiji is famous for apart from being friendly is the kava drinking ceremony.  Kava is a mildly narcotic substance that looks like muddy water when you drink it, and apparently makes people feel good.  Other side effects include a furry tongue!

I have a feeling I won’t escape Fiji without trying it!  If you want to learn more, check out Kava: The Pacific Elixir: The Definitive Guide to Its Ethnobotany, History, and Chemistry.

Keep tuned for a number of posts and videos about Fiji in the next few weeks.

Anyway, here is the disclaimer: The future posts you will see from me about this Fiji trip and the Sydney-Fiji Jetstar flights will be created from a trip that Tourism Fiji sent me on!
