Just about a month after Leslie's parents returned to America, my parents along with Kelly, my sister, arrived in Fiji. They stayed at Volivoli Beach Resort most of the time and did some diving. Kelly actually completed her scuba certification here, so she got to go on her first dives in Fiji. The weather literally couldn't have been better the whole time they were here. The wind which had been blowing nonstop for the past few months let up a bit while they were here. We went on some great dives. On one of the dives we managed to see six sharks!
We left the Ra area for a few days to see a few other parts of Fiji. My parents, Leslie, Kelly and I all piled into the Rav-4 rental and headed down to the Suva area for a few days. We spent the first night at Raintree Lodge and went for a long hike in Colo i' Suva park the next day. I had been to Colo i' Suva park before but had not managed to find the pool with the famous ropeswing. This time we did manage to find that pool and spend some time swing off the rope into the water. At around noontime we headed to Suva for lunch, had some fish and chips, and then headed toward Pacific Harbour to do the zip line. The zip line was a lot of fun. The guys running it were really friendly to us and let us go down all the lines twice. My parents got some great pictures from it that I will have to post at some point. Both Leslie and I were sad when they left. Hopefully my brothers and her brother can save up some money and come here at some point!

How much money in U.S.$ did you bring with you for the trip and did you get it converted before or after you left the U.S.? I have a lot of questions for you guys if that's ok? If it is or not please let me know.
