FIJI:
Hated Fiji the first time. We had 2 Cyclones circling the Island the whole time we was there. One day we had a pool view and the next day we had a boarded window view. Everything was shut down. We couldnt do anything or go any where. We couldnt even go home. The Airport shut down. Gave it another go and hated it the second time round too.
Order your dinner at breakfast time so you get it in time for dinner because everything is done in Fiji time over there. SLOW.
BALI:
I hated Bali the first time. It was my first overseas trip. Just after having my baby daughter. I had post natal depression real bad and was advised to leave my new born daughter with my mum and have a trip away for a break. Well I did that and all I wanted to do was get back home to her. I worried the whole holiday about her.
3 months later, I thought I would try Bali again. I loved it.
Now 12 trips later Im still holidaying in Bali every year. My kids come to Bali with me now and they love it too. Heading back again August 7th for my 40th Birthday.
But that is just my personal veiw.
My sister is a Foster Carer. She was planning to go to Bali in Octber 05 but has just been told she is not aloud to take the Foster Child to Bali or any Asian Country. But is aloud to take him to Fiji. So they are off to Fiji in October instead. I cant wait to find out her views on which one they prefer. (Bali or Fiji). As they have traveled to Bali a few times too! And love it.
Anyway have a good trip, whatever one you choose.
