Finally here!!!

This is going to be an extremely short post...

It is now Saturday at 4 pm here in Fiji. The staging in LA went well and the flight over was horrendous. It was rough and I couldn't sleep at all. This only made jet lag worse... and I proceeded to fall asleep on the bus ride to our first site despite beautiful tropical landscapes mixed in with shanties and free-roaming livestock. So far I have been swimming in the pacific and have driven along the coast of about half of the main island. I've seen a rugby game. Learned how to introduce myself in Fijian and ask where someone is going. And...I have missed Marissa tons and know that this experience will only make us stronger. I love you all and appreciate your support in this process beyond words. Vinaka vaka levu (Thank you so much). I will be getting a cell phone within the week and will post the number on here as soon as possible so you guys can call me. Sorry no photos yet...but i will ASAP!!!
