Fiji baby yeah!!!!!!!!!

Bula bula bula

We're in Fiji!!!!!!!

This is something of a dream come true for me (Things)!!! However it is not all champagne sunsets and five star cruises! 7 months away from home with no income have taken their toll on my finances, that and some vast PADI contributions to boot so its job seeking time.

We have our options wide open which is very exiting but very unknown. Our two basic plans are for me to take the next dive job I can get my hands on or get on yachts to crew around the south pacific, allowing us free accommodation twined with transport. Although some marine conservation project would also be awesome. We're planning to sail to the Solomon islands, were there maybe work opportunities for me!

So I've thrown my hat in the ring and advertised my vast skills and loveliness. This has surprisingly lead to some interest, so far people have got in touch about jobs in Mozambique, Jordan, Vietnam and one from Fiji. We have also managed to find several crewing opportunities, one of witch we sail on tomorrow for a couple of days around Fiji!!!

So many irons in the fire, so many decisions!! Good thing is I'm not sure any would be wrong!!!!!

PS Find me on the PADI Pro site or email me if you happen to run a dive shop, conservation project or own a yacht!!!!

Her and Him

Stuff on Things

Things is a Marine Biologist I met whilst working at the Environment Agency we both worked as high tech bottle fillers. Instantly attracted to her out going personality, love of everything sci-fi, drinking abilities and almost being as loud as me once a few too many had been consumed I knew we were going to make a good team. We subsequently went to an Alice Cooper gig after a works doo where we went dressed as Thundercats (Things outgoing personality). Things is also a competitive type like myself so once a pool table was introduced to our relationship things really kicked off!! Pretty much any game we play now is a fight to the death!! (In a loving, caring, affectionate way of course). She is one of the most generous, selfless people I have met who is always willing to help some one else, sounds cheesy I know, but true none the less. Sick bags at the ready!!

Things on Stuff

Well, I'm not sure how to follow that, blush!!! Stuff is an ecologist by degree but lives for surfing, it is his passion and at times obsession. He is intelligent and very funny although not as funny as he thinks (he is guilty of laughing at his own jokes on occasion) and he is loyal almost to a fault. He's a bit of a worrier, but generally about important things which is good as I am something of a risk taker with less concern of consequences. He also holds fairness in very high regard. He can match if not out do me in alcohol induced volume and there's no one I'd rather hang out at the pub with.

A good friend coin the phrase 'Ginger Adonis' to describe him, he is indeed, red headed and blue eyed and modestly unaware of his charm. Don't tell him but I'm proud to call him mine!
