1st Day in Fiji

I arrived in Fiji around 8-ish in the evening.  While leaving the plane, there was a group of Fijians playing live music and singing to welcome everyone from my flight to the country.  I'd never seen anything like that in my life.  It completely caught me off guard.  That got me excited about being there.

After going through customs, my experience wasn't as great.  I waited at least half an hour for the person who was prearranged to pick me up.  The people I'd asked at the airport weren't going to my destination, which was 2 1/2 hours from the airport in Nadi.  Finally, I found someone who got in touch with the manager of the resort who informed me that the person who was supposed to pick me up drove other guests but forgot about me.  So, someone else had to come pick me up and take me to the resort.  I ended up staying at the airport for like 2 hours.

One thing that did make it better was the person who helped me sort out the situation invited me to have some food while I was waiting.  Also, I negotiated for a lower price because of the hassle.  I did get to the resort by like 12 or 12:30 am.
