Holidays and what not

I was vacationing in Fiji not much for Internet. Toured about three quarters of the outside of the largest island, lots of sugar cane and sugar beets seems to be their main cash crop. The Fiji people that we met were unbelievably hospitable, friendly and very easy going.

The diving was spectacular, managed to get in twelve dives. Ten dives were reef dives beautiful coral and a lot of fish. Two, were shark dives, wow that is impressive, a flurry of fish and sharks trying to get food. I did get to go out to the feeding and touch a nurse shark, thought they would be smooth but feel more like sand paper.

Was woke up every morning by some kind of bird his chirp sounded like wake up, wake up, right at sunrise. Then it was twenty steps out to the beach for pushups, sit-ups and a forms session. The maintenance man who cleaned the beach would bring an extra rake and leave it with me so I could rake the sand where I had practiced forms; it also doubled as a spear.

I must have picked up a bug some where on the trip, I got deathly sick from a bacterial, intestinal bug and you know what that entails. Was out of commission for a week after holidays. My UBBT numbers fell off, am in the midst of trying to build them back up.

All in all things are back to abnormal, the usual.
