Nice! Back to Fiji!


I learned here on the forums about Fiji Airways service from DFW to Fiji! I have travel taking up the bulk of my calendar from now up to September 2026. The major ones include:

September 2025, a month-long road trip on East Coast USA visiting friends and family. I will take along my dive gear and do some lobster diving in Massachusetts.

Bonaire with friends November/December.

January 2026, Raja Ampat. This may or may not happen depending on my dive group. If it doesn't happen then I can quickly replace it with a dive trip somewhere closer to home.

I have to start training for Nepal's Himalaya mountains and Everest Base Camp come March 2026. This is the second time I am doing the trek. This time I plan to do the three week itinerary through Gokyo Lakes region and the high pass of Cho La to get to Everest Base Camp. The trek will start in late April. After Nepal, I will tour India's Golden Triangle region and a bit more the east. And after India, I will tour Bhutan from west to east.

In June/July, I venture to Southern California to visit friends and do some diving.

The first half of August will be Iceland, and I aim to visit Silfra. The friend I am visiting Iceland with is not a diver; I might dive and let him snorkel. Or I might just snorkel with him and call my visit to Silfra good.

Then head to Galapagos Islands late August to early September. I plan to stay in mainland Ecuador after the liveaboard trip for about a week to explore.

Fiji (and Indonesia) for diving is definitely something I want to do. Hence, my interest in your trip reports and surfing the boards for other travel ideas.
That's quite the travel itinerary! Sounds like a lot of fun! I've been to Iceland but didn't dive the Silfra fissure because I'm not dry suit certified, but if that wasn't a requirement, I would have done it in a heartbeat. Being able to touch two continental plates at the same time is something special, and I understand the water is crystal clear.
