WELL, IT'S OFFICIAL!


Sadly, the physicians in Fiji cannot perform the removal of the skin cancer from my left lower eyelid. Accordingly, I must travel to New Zealand for the procedure.

I will leave Fiji on May 2, 2010 and return on the 13th.

Shortly after my return I shall do my final fueling and provisioning and depart for the Republic of Vanuatu.

Vanuatu seems an interesting place with a curious history of two governments, Great Britain and France sharing control of the same country AT THE SAME TIME until Vanuatu was granted independence.

I plan to stay in Vanuatu for a month then proceed to New Caledonia, a French territory. Perhaps my French language skills will improve. On ne c'est pas toujours, n'est ce pas?

Whilst awaiting my departure to New Zealand I plan to sail to some of the nearby islands. I would really like to revisit Waya and Navandra islands, they are truly the most beautiful islands in Fiji.

Avast Cap Mal

Hope all goes well with treatment. Nothing to fool around with. I work on taxes this rainy weekend. Down to 5 houses that need final. The fun part is the last landsaping.
Bula and Bonne Voyage. Do you have a French phrase book?
