Date night abroad



My family kindly offered to take care of the boys this afternoon and tonight while Darren and I spent some time together. At first, we had no idea what to do with our spare time. Do we be adventurous and take on a water sport, do we completely relax with massages or do we laze by the pool soaking up the sun?

Our first thought was that if we stayed by the resort pool Isaac would eventually find us and our kid free afternoon would be over. So we started off on a walk through some of the other resorts. About half way along, the sun was getting quite strong so we decided to take a dip in the Sheraton apartments pool. We were doing well at keeping a low profile until we decided to have a cocktail and was asked our room number. "We are cashless at the pool sir." Oh dear! With a bit of improvisation we managed to pay cash for the drinks and were even given some complimentary beach towels.

We started making our way back to another resort, where there were two for one cocktails. After a swim in their adult pool and a few too many drinks, we took a taxi to the port for some very yummy Indian food. The night ended with a very interesting taxi ride back to our own resort. It seemed to be a disco van and the driver was playing Kenny Rogers at full volume. Darren and I joined along with the singing much to the drivers amusement.

For a couple with no plans, we ended up having such a fun and memorable date night in Fiji.
