In October 2004 Mo and I went to Fiji for a week, and just getting there was an ordeal in itself. Our 6am flight out of Christchurch was delayed by two hours due to a faulty engine temperature sensor (or so they told us). Come 8am, we were told we would be delayed a further three hours as the problem wasn't fixed! After numerous snoozes on uncomfortable airport seating, midday came around and we were told we were being diverted to Auckland to catch a 4pm flight to Fiji from there. So after another snooze on more uncomfortable seating at Auckland International we were finally on a (working) plane bound for Fiji! But the drama didn't end there, oh shit no! After landing in Fiji at Nadi (some 12 hours late), we still had another 60-minute bus ride ahead of us to reach our accommodation at Outrigger Resort. About 30 minutes into that ride the bus stopped on the side of the road and I could hear bubbling - the radiator was boiling and the engine had overheated hahaha, fuck! So we were stuck in the middle of nowhere in the dark while the driver went into a random house to call for help. A replacement arrived some 45 minutes later, and we eventually arrived at Outrigger at around midnight - 14 hours late in total! Despite all of that I was stoked to be there as you can see ;)
