Enjoy the Journey to Fiji, Vanuatu, and New Caledonia with Takara



In the fall of 2010, my son Jess and I hopped on a plane and landed in Fiji. There, we met my dear friend Brian Calvert, Captain of the Furthur. The gorgeous million-dollar yacht was to be our home away from home for the next 6 weeks.

We island hopped endlessly, visiting famous locations like The Blue Lagoon and where Castaways was filmed. We enjoyed wonderful food, swimming pools, and other grand amenities at some of the world's best resorts.

We had a meal prepared for us by natives whose ancestors were cannibals only a few generations ago. We were escorted by dolphins on several occasions. We kayaked, swam, and snorkeled our way through paradise.

This blog chronicles those adventures. Using the archive navigation on the right, start with post #1 (the beginning of the adventure) and make your way through the rest.

Enjoy,
Takara

P.S. I've chronicled another adventure here that also involves some sea adventures. This time it was a 7 week book tour for my #1 bestseller, Dolphins & Whales Forever.
