BULA from Fiji! Today we are in Suva, which is the capital and a good-sized city.

Yesterday we were at Malolo Island where we did some excellent snorkeling. We have one more

stop in Fiji tomorrow, then we sail on to Tonga, the Cook Islands, and French Polynesia.

We are very glad to be back on the PG. As Andrea and Susan have reported, the ship is

running well under its new management. The crew includes many familiar faces that we have

sailed with before including the cruise director, chef, some of the Gaugines, and much of

the wait staff. The food has been excellent as well.

Here are a few of Grant's photos from the first three days:
