They've arrived!

For the past year I've been looking forward to this!   My best friend is here!  Her family is here!   They made it!     Kathleen is more like a sister to me than a friend....  a friend/sister.  We grew up two houses down from one another and have stayed close through all the transitions life has brought us, including childhood to adulthood,  moves around the world, heartbreaks and creating our families.    I cannot remember a time in my life when she wasn't a huge part of it, so it's only natural that she would be here in Fiji to experience this life too.    I love that I am getting to know her family through more than her stories....but in real time.   Basically, life is good and we are all happy.    

Here are some pics!

Yay!!!!  They are here!

The girls, Serou and Chad went sailing on this fun Moana boat!

We had the best time snorkeling, cayaking, diving (not me) at Leleuvia.  Chad and Kathleen loved it!  They saw a turtle and sharks!   Great trip!

We also did the river trip yesterday!   Loved it!
