FLIGHT UPDATES AS REQUESTED:

Hi Kamala Yes, there has been a 1 hour time change. It is actually better because it allows an
extra hour to connect in LAX. Your group obviously won't be pressed for
time in making the NAN-KDV connection in Fiji.

Yes, we can book through tickets but they are expensive. I believe the
Chicago through fare adds $450 plus tax so about $500. The advantage is
that the client is protected in the event of a misconnect. The other
alternative is to book a separate ticket. The below AA flights are
currently $300 including tax. He could spend the $200 savings on travel
insurance which would cover his entire trip in case something went wrong. AA
has a baggage agreement with Air Pacific so he should stick with AA.



AA1345 on 23MAY ORD/LAX 155P 420P

AA1890 on 02JUN LAX/ORD 515P 1110P



Please let me know if he wants us to add the flights as part of the FJ
ticket.

If staying until Jun 2nd

FJ 811 on 23MAY LAX/NAN 1130P 510A (land on 25MAY)

Great news John! And yes you can get a s/o. I think we quoted prices in the first post and no one has requested a single room so you should be good to go! kamala

Put me down as interested, but can't commit yet.
I am a teacher. I will have to check if I can take those days off, its right before school is let out. I will let you know within the next week I hope, or the latest within two weeks. I suspect it has to be approved by the superintendent (misp). Keep your fingers crossed. If I am approved you can count me in.

It'll load shrunk... click on it to get the full resolution image.

That's from GoogleEarth; a similar link to the satellite shot at GoogleMaps is:

http://maps.google.c...9...mp;t=h&z=18

Both encompass the whole resort at the default settings, but you can zoom in/out with either one. GoogleEarth has slightly better resolution if you shell out the $10 per year for it.

You'll kick yourself if you miss this trip! I went in 2005, and you won't often hear me say WOW!!

Count me in on this trip for May 25 - June 4 (extra 2 days) s/o, plus Manta trip. It sounds like the way to go for airfare from my neck of the woods to LA is AA since they have a baggage agreement so I will book that and send my flights to you as soon as I have them. I will send forms, etc. within the next day or so. I will dive a Cochran again - loved it in St. Croix! BTW, I'm buried in snow up here

It appears that someone enjoyed the St. Croix Trip so much that they want to meet other SD divers in Fiji!

[Landlocked Dive Nut]

All right! Someone else is staying the extra days......you know you have to make sure I get on the plane to come home, right? I threatened to go native & stay there, if nobody stayed with me those 2 days!
