(Enjoying Life in Fiji.)
Today is the longest day of my life.
I gently woke at 6 AM in Fiji to the subtle chirping of my watch alarm clock. Quickly, I managed to finish packing and catch a boat with an Australian film crew to Namoto Island. The film crew is creating a surf documentary that highlights 9 global surfing destinations in 6 weeks (it will air in a few months).

After photographing Wilkes Passage, I boarded a boat charter at noon, which took me to Nadi Harbor. To pass some time, I spent the day relaxing by a local hotel pool and soaking up my last moments in Fiji. However, I was mainly absorbing rain drops and not the cliché postcard sun rays, because it is still the wet season in The South Pacific.

As the evening hour approached, I taxied over to Nadi International Airport and boarded my 10:30 PM flight back to LAX. Since, the direct flight is only 10.5 hours and the time difference is considerably longer, I managed to arrive in Los Angeles at 1:30 PM on Thursday --the same Thursday that I started in Fiji.
I cabbed over to USC, revved up my car and dodged rush hour traffic back to Orange County. After catching up on some emails, I watched a few of the first-round NCAA basketball games latter in the evening.
Despite the inconsistent weather conditions, I really enjoyed my trip and look forward to sharing my artwork in the approaching weeks.
To satiate your thirst, here are a few images:

It's 10PM (PST) ---still the same Thursday ---I'm now ending this long, enjoyable day. Good night. :)
