Honeymoon Destination: Fiji

The topic of honeymoon locations has come up. Being the easy-going chick that I am, I’d be happy hanging out in the backyard with my guy. But we don’t have a backyard. And my guy really, really, really wants to go someplace rockin’. So we plop down on the couch, laptop in lap, and start investigating. Now, I’d had my share of research in planning the wedding, so I let him drive this time. But then I looked over -- to be honest, I’d been watching TV while he did the work -- and saw what he was staring at: pictures of Fiji. A lot of the photos were of water, and I’m not a strong swimmer, but, holy canoli, the place looked like all that and a bag of barbeque chips. The Fiji islands in the South Pacific are the location of a number of resorts, each one offering luxury, comfort, and a slice of heaven. Speaking of which, ‘Lomalagi’ (as in Lomalagi Resort) “means ‘Heaven’ in the Fijian language.” And Turtle Island, the location for the film “The Blue Lagoon” offers “accommodation to only 14 couples on this 500 acre private island.” I think that no matter which Fiji location we choose, our backyard -- when we have one -- will never measure up.
