The Poly, The Parks, & The Wonder by Amelia's Man!

Amelia's Man · 07-05-2007

Okay! We just got home a couple of hours ago, so I haven't been able to get to resizing all my pics.........yet! But I will be doing that tonight, tomorrow, Saturday, .......................

I'll start my trip report with a few bullet points:

* Don't, I repeat, DON't try to go through airport security with suntan lotion in your carry-on. They were taking it all. All of it.

* Remember your sunglasses. They are waaay too expensive at the airport. Trust me.

* Monorails are cool. PERIOD.

* Don't, and this one's important, ride Rock N' Roller coaster on a (very) full stomach from 50's Prime Time Cafe. Great food, It just doesn't taste the same a second time. More on this later.

* Duty Free booze does not mean that it can sit next to you on the flight. Apparently it is much happier riding in the cargo hold with the rest of the (heavy) luggage.

* Pictures are forthcoming....................................... ..

No, it doesn't.

Here's the very first pic I took! This is the view from our room in the FIJI longhouse:

Amelia's Man · 07-05-2007

Still looking out from our wonderful room!

emamasa · 07-05-2007

ooh - I am excited for your TR!!

Amelia's Man · 07-05-2007

More of the Poly!

The rarely seen back of the volcano pool! I zoomed in on it from the room! The slide on that thing is awesome!!

emamasa · 07-05-2007

ok, for the poly uneducated - what is that??!! looks so cool! tell me you can walk up it and have an amazing view!!

Peppertink · 07-05-2007

Looks like your room had a great view!

Amelia's Man · 07-05-2007

It's the back side of the volcano pool! The steps lead to the top of this really great waterslide! I think I took some pictures of the front of the pool, but I'm not sure! I was shooting video and taking pictures at the same time, switching from one to the other!

Come to think of it, I probably looked a bit ridiculous!

Oh well, I captured the memories!!

Welcome back, Mike!

*Thanks for the heads-up. I'll make sure to keep my lotions in checked bags when I fly in a month.

*Good point about the sunglasses. Been there, done that -- had to because I had a pair break.

*Yes they are.

*Nothing tastes the same the second time.

Hope that was an isolated incident.

*Hope your DFB survived its journey in the cargo hold. I know some who've not been so lucky...

Enjoying the TR so far! Carry on.
