departure day

Today I’m leaving for Fiji. I had basically nothing to do at all this entire week, or the whole six weeks of my break. So naturally I waited until the last minute to pack. I spent most of my free time sitting thinking about how I should pack, and how I had so much time to do so.

Heres what my journey to Fiji is going to look like:

1. Leave for STL airport at 3pm
2. 6pm depart for a 4.5 hour flight from STL to LAX
3. Layover for 2 hours in LA
4. 10:30 pm depart for a 11 hour flight to Nadi, Fiji (land at 5:15 am)
5. Wait for a bus to pick me up for 4 hours.
6. Bus pickup at 9am for 4 a hour ride to Suva (where my school is)

This takes us to the mighty total of a 24 hour travel day.

All I have with me are two suitcases and a backpack. I am super proud of myself for this, especially considering that I have two towels, a blanket, and pillow in one of my suitcases. Oh an 15 bottles of sunscreen.

I also am bringing my student visa, passport, and Fiji dollars I ordered ahead of time.
