Fiji in Review

I'm getting requests for the happenings of Fiji. I have decided to attack this in list format because... well, because I enjoy lists.

The Number Game:
3: times I went snorkeling
9: times I cut myself on coral and/or sharp rocks
0: romantic holiday flings
3: skinny dipping people
2: unfortunate pictures of the skinny dipping
43: emails awaited my return to civilization
3: packages of Fijian peanut biscuits consumed by the traveling trio
2: cigars smoked
1: courageous jump from boat to ocean in bikini (or was pushed... whatever)
4: people going to LA following the Fiji trip (none of which was American)
1: approximate handfuls of sand taken out of one of my cuts
2: times a fish attacked me while I was snorkeling; also number of times I screamed underwater

Funny Quotes:
"What a funny looking dog! [it was a pig]"
"You gotta cross your arms over your chest, yell, 'Dingo! Dingo! Dingo!', look 'em in the eyes, and back away slowly."
"Uh-oh, Kelley, avert your eyes from the Fijian rugby field lest we crash! [said multiple times roadtrippin' to and from Suva]"
"Oh, he's not 16 yet." followed by me thinking, "Ew... I'm going to hell." (And no, I didn't touch him!!)
"...by the twilight's last gleaming... um..." [Kelley and I, under pressure and the influence of alcohol, forgetting the lyrics to the national anthem]
"Surgery, surgery!" [said by my flamboyant, favorite bartender as he fixed up one of my cuts]

Points of Interest:

we found fluorescent stuff on the beach at midnight
we were one of two groups of white people we saw in the whole of Suva and both parties went immediately into McDonald's (to use the toilets)
Kelley got offered to buy weed (she said no)
a girl got bitten/stung by a sting ray

Okay that's all I can think of for the moment. I am sure more stories will occur to me and get elaborated upon in the next few days and weeks. As for now, I am missing my peeps as homecoming in Valpo is upon us. Sigh.
