Honeymoon in Fiji

[Whitten]

I posted some pictures over in the south pacific interest section but I wanted to share some photo's with you all over here in photography since I have been reading and enjoying so many of each and everyone else's.

My Wife and I went to Matamanoa and Tokoriki Fiji and we loved it as you will see below.

Here goes.
Aftermath

Then we flew for 16 hours and lost a day, but this made it all worth it.

Go Boobs, Ginny sees the statue in the resort dining area and made this pitiful face...I had to take a picture to recreate the moment.

White Tip Reef Shark. I actually did something counter intuitive, I swam twords the bugger. The water is cloudy,
it got very windy for a few days and that clouded up the water.

Going to our little private side of the island

So I couldn't wait to get into the water and subsequently drug Ginny in with me to show here the beauty. She pointed out a Blue Linkia Starfish and thus it was hers.

I uploaded all the videos in the highest quality and they still look like crap. I even tried Greg's little fmt&18 trick and it still didn't work. At any rate here they are.

My wife and I honeymooned in Fiji as well.We stayed at the Garden Island Resort on Taveuni. The diving was fantastic. The people are wonderful. We have been back to Fiji twice now, though we stayed on the main island. Love your shots and 10 out of 10 for your wife.
