Hi Emily. I've been doing some checking re Fiji, It seems to have settled down now and I've read comments from people who have been there up until 26/12/06 and it seems there is no trouble. However me being the cynical person that I am, I tend not to believe all I read. To that end I've got some info for you. You can contact the Fiji visitors bureau which is at level 12 St Martins Tower 31 Market St Sydney. Tel (02)92643399. They will no doubt paint a rosey picture for you. You can also contact the British High Commision they have offices in Sydney Canberra Adelaide Melbourne and Perth. They usually give advice as to whether it is safe to visit certain parts of the world. Just type in British High Commission and follow the web map.. I'm impressed with your blog and the fotos Emily and you seem to be getting over your home sickness and enjoying yourself. I used to be homesick for the 1st few weeks then I just got on with it. You will always have this time to look back on and cherish,you are a very lucky young lady. Its lovely reading your blog take care and live it to the full. Love Brian and Mum xx
