We're Back!!!
To be honest, I wasn't sure about taking Mini E with me to Fiji... it just might not have been safe! I mean, the sun is the obvious complication, but even worse for Mini E would have been the lack of "big game"to snack on during the week. However, after re-reading Eclipse I was inspired. Edward himself manages a trip to sunny Jacksonville without incident... so why not Mini E?
It turns out that Fiji was a wonderful choice! Time means nothing to Vampires, so Fiji was the perfect place to take Mini E because time means nothing there either! Of course, we were not alone. The entire family (DH and the mini humans) came along as well which made things a little uncomfortable at times considering DH and Mini E are still learning to co-exist.
Having said that, I do believe that real progress was made by forcing my two "halves" together a-la "tent scene" in Eclipse. I dare say I witnessed several genuine moments of bonding! We actually managed to do all sorts of things together, with Mini E even braving being exposed in broad daylight to join us on a few expeditions...
The flight was fantastic, but apparently not up to Mini E's standards...
Dammit! Why didn't you let me buy those first class tickets... they are showing New Moon up there!!
Mini E examines the local guides in flight - he's always planning ahead!
After a smooth flight we arrived at Raffles - across the road from Fiji Airport. We thought it was great -
Mini E wasn't so impressed...
Well, it's no Isle Esme..
Thankfully we had an overcast day on Mana Island, it was safe for Mini E to come out and play!
Any more Mai Tai's and you'll be anyone's Mini E!!
We chartered a vessel to take us on a snorkeling trip... Mini E scoffed at my suggestion that he wear these.
I don't breathe... remember!!!!
Here he is showing off his non-breathing capabilities...
DH didn't appreciate such demonstrations and promptly delivered a "message" to Mini E...
Hmmm More Complications...
Mini E and I took the opportunity to reenact one of our fave New Moon scenes... the drowning. I thought Mini E's bubbles made for a realistic interpretation!
Sadly, though, all good things come to an end. It actually rained as we left Fiji, making Mini E quite homesick for Forks. Perhaps we will go there for our next vacation?
Impossible, I can't return for another 80yrs or so - people will become suspicious!
So, there you have it. Our first vacation together - Ahhh the memories! Now that we are back we are in serious countdown mode. Seriously! This next month is PACKED full of breathtakingly exciting releases... there's the Novella, the soundtrack, True Blood Season 3 starts and the next Sookie Stackhouse book is released in Australia. My Edward we have a lot to get through! Thankfully I am relaxed after my time away and didn't miss a single thing thanks to Ally Mac and her dedicated blogging! So, JUNE - I am ready for all the gifts you are going to bestow upon us... BRING.IT.ON!
