A watchful and silent gaze out the miniature glass window observed a wispy range of fresh, white clouds surrounding the large plane as it glided through the air just like scissors cut through paper. Four-and-a-half hours of gorgeous views of a golden sunset decreasing through the violet gaze would stun the average layman on a usually boring plane trip like this.
As the large air carrier began to sink through the deep, blue sky, beautiful views of a naturally tropical terrain shone through as the first images of the islands of Fiji. When the plane wheels smacked the runway floor with a thud, an immediate feeling of ‘home’ was felt.
Walking onto solid ground for the first time in hours was a delightful feeling that was briefly disturbed by the humid, warm conditions of a normal Fijian day. Next on the agenda was a two-hour drive through dangerous, primitive, windy roads to reach the destination of slumber for the next two weeks; a truly scary experience to say the least, but one worth remembering.
Conversation with the areas locals was amazing, due to their basic knowledge of English, and also the fact that happiness, joy and glee was the only feelings they knew. Their introduction to the resort’s activities gave a sense of adventure and thrill for the upcoming fortnight. A general feel of excitement filled the air at that moment.
Exploring the resort had a truly exotic and relaxing feel, matching perfectly with the staff’s attitude. Lounging by the pool, sitting by the bar, having a chilled out lunch upstairs, mustering a slow energy to participate in a quiet and peaceful canoe, casually enjoying a delicious Fijian ice-cream of milkshake or having a swing of the golf club were just a few of the activities to keep the naïve tourist entertained.
The view of the shared, unique apartment room boasted a view of the beach and ocean, something the eye cannot resist.
Lazy days by the pool, followed by crazy shopping tours in town filled incredible days that will

    Greg Critser lives in Pasadena, California, and writes regularly for USA Today and the Los Angeles Times on issues of nutrition, health, and medicine. An authority on the subject of food politics, Critser has been interviewed by PBS and other media, and his writ­ing on obesity earned him a James Beard nomination for best feature writing in 1999. Embarrassed by a passing motorist who shouted "Watch it, fatso," Critser went on a diet and lost forty pounds. In the process he discovered that in America, weight is a class issue—fat and poor often go together. In exposing the heavy truths about American obesity, Critser gives our bloated nation a wake-up call. His books include Fat Land: How Americans Became the Fattest People in the World (2003) and Generation Rx: How Prescription Drugs Are Altering American Lives, Minds, and Bodies (2005).…

    The causeway we drove on was curved and tall enough for the sailboats below to pass under. As I looked down, I could see a group of beautiful condos on the shore. They contrasted brightly with the white sand around them, painted colors normally found in a box of crayons. I took in the sight of all the fancy high-rise condos and hotels, with a few beach huts sprinkled in between. We arrived at our hotel, and I quickly unloaded and unpacked my belongings. The beach was waiting for me.…

    Private spas and extensive landscaped gardens with water features and idiosyncratic grottos create a private retreat away from the noise and bustle, and away from the prying eyes. Private tennis courts, lakes, and golf courses allow residents and visitors to get away from it all. Perfect settings to rest and recover before heading back into the…

    It has been roughly five hundred and forty seven days since I have stepped foot of the Catalina Sea Boat. I ran my hand down the Metal railing as I strided onto the island, I would call my home for the next three weeks. I stood at the end of the dock with one bag around my shoulder and another in hand. I felt the warmth of the sun and the ocean breeze that I dearly long for now. I stopped for a moment to soak in the nature around me and breath in the ocean smell. I continued on and walked with the rest of my group onto the dirt. Which soon turned into irregular and scratchy grass as we walked to our cabins.…

    Doesn’t everyone just hate snoring? You have to agree with me that when you are awake at night and you are with some one that snores it is the most irritating thing in the world as half the time it is impossible to get back to sleep. Without a doubt if I succeed today snoring is most definitely going into room 101. The one and only major natural thing that really could make you sleep hell has to be stupendous, snotty snoring. When you awake the next day you are like a drowned rat as your body has not recovered at all from last night and therefore will completely ruin the day ahead. Why when we evolved were we given the power to snore? Half the time you want to get the person who is snoring and shake his body to bits just like a rattle. Or even cover his face in cold water to let the person feel what it is like not to be able to sleep. You know that snoring has just got to go in room 101 to save us from dreadful, irritating snoring!…

    Looking over the side all I seen were clouds and ocean. The water looked so beautiful from up that high. I could see birds flying in and out of the clouds from underneath of us. After a while I saw the island, palm trees covered it and the beaches were by far the best scenery. After our plan landed and we got off, the first thing I felt was the hot, humid air hit my face. Unluckily I was wearing jeans and a sweater because it was fall in Ohio. We were greeted with friendly faces welcoming us to Dominican Republic.…

    The boat slowed as we pulled up the the small wooden dock. The anchor was thrown to the side, and the latter was lowered to the dock. We got off the boat and unloaded our luggage that carried all our belongings for the next two weeks. Walking up to the decently sized cottage with white siding, and big French doors, we unpacked our belongings into our honeymoon home, and changed into some swimsuits. The island was privately owed by my new husband’s parents, and no one was on it except for us two. The water was warm and clear and the jungle was humid and desolate, not an animal or human in sight. Leaving this island was already something I wasn’t looking forward to, and it was only the first…

    Fiji was a place that was almost too exotic--a place that existed only in movies and magazines. I remember the first time I saw a picture of a perfect wave in Surfer Magazine. I was fourteen years old. I studied the glassy surface in detail. I couldn’t imagine being in that wave and how it would almost feel as if time was stopped.…

    As soon as we got to our hotel room, I rushed to put on my swimsuit to go to the beach before the sun fully set. The hotel room looked like I had been there for a month, with clothes scattered over the marbled tiles in our hotel bathroom. The soft sand between my toes felt like fuzzy socks as I ran to meet the ocean’s tide. The foaming water washed away the sand as well as the stress I had accumulated at the airport. My worries about not having my parents with me and being in a new place fled as I watched the sun set behind the tall…

    For the first three nights everything was calm and peaceful. The beach was a mix of white and black sand, so fine that the Gods must have laid it here themselves, along with every tree in the jungle, that loomed over the fire I sat by at night. A short walk from where I landed was a high cliff, the only high point on the island, where the freshest water fell into a bed of glass, and created little ripples throughout the pond. The waterfall was where all the other animals seemed to go to refresh, sharing the only fresh water I could…

    There I was, in Florida, or maybe I was dreaming. The perfect escape plan was finally in effect. It was nice to be Calgary free, snow free, and most of all parent free. Looking forward to a whole week of new experiences to be had, new people to meet, in what felt like an entirely different world. I was looking forward to so many things, but most of all I was looking forward to finding out what made my best friend who she is today. All the bits and pieces of her southern friends and family coming together creating a giant mosaic named Keightley Bertram. I felt so lucky to be included in such a trip, adopted for a week by Keightley's family to celebrate her birthday in style. Such an awesome party it was going to be, with an unlimited amount of space, people, and lack of restrictions. This was definitely going to be a trip to be remembered.…

    We had stared our journey the previous night at nine. After some hours of playful pranks and laughter, slowly everyone started getting drowsy and one by one people started nodding off to sleep. As the noise quietened down and the lights dimmed on the request of elderly people, and I too gradually settled down to sleep.…
