Fiji as a holiday destination did present somewhat of a moral dilemma to me. Should I holiday in a country which is run by a repressive military dictatorship? On the other hand, as I often hear in these cases, the last thing the low-paid locals need is a tourism industry collapse on top of political turmoil. And I had always been curious about Fiji, having previously had some enjoyable trips to Rarotonga, Tonga and Tahiti.
So, spurred on by a good package deal for the three of us (airfares and four nights' accommodation at the Sofitel for $1198 each for Mia and me, plus a cheap airfare and free meals for nine-year-old Phoebe), we booked and took the three-hour flight with Air Pacific.
Three hours is just enough time to do a bit of reading, have a glass of something, and eat your simple-but-adequate boxed lunch before touching down in 30C humid Nadi. The airport is pretty basic, but you still have to present no less than three arrival documents and passports to stern-faced officials in crisp uniforms with epaulets.
