Where do I begin... I guess that would be "thank you"! What a fabulous trip, great diving, well organized, fun people and zero problems. The Solomon Islands were incredible. Uepi Lodge was very comfortable and the staff made you feel like family. The dives were magnificent and the marine life abundant including sharks on most dives. The dive masters were all very experienced and the boat crews were good. Uepi resort is small and we practically had the whole place to ourselves. The food was delicious and most dinners included fresh seafood, chicken and beef. The only negative is the difficulty of getting there but the travel plans were flawless.

There was someone waiting for us at every airport, a bus or boat to take us to our next destination. I was impressed (thanks Mary) as we all realized how much work and planning this took.

Fiji was also very beautiful and Wananavu Beach Resort was awesome. The staff was fun and they always greeted you with "bula" and your first name. Again the food, diving, accommodations and views were fabulous.
As for diving, the reefs were lush, very healthy and there were loads of fish. The hard and soft corals was the most beautiful I've ever seen ad I would love to go back.
Thanks again!
