Fiji

  • I’m here, I’m here!

    It’s been a busy spring at home, but travel is back on the agenda in a big way. We are heading to Washington D.C. and Baltimore for a quick baseball getaway before prepping for another trip to the other side of the planet. That’s right, we are heading back to Australia for the second time in six months, with a pit stop in Fiji thanks to a great deal with Fiji Airways. Beyond the upcoming trips, there is a lot of writing in the pipeline from past adventures, and the It’s How I Travel store is growing with a fresh focus on fun, eye-catching t-shirts. There is a lot more to come!

    How a Google Flights Search Turned Into a Fiji Beach Hut

    ByJay M

    Fiji is one of those places that sounds out of reach to most, or at least at a level of spend that many are not ready to indulge. I was of that same mindset too, always thinking of the movie “The Truman Show,” where Jim Carrey’s character dreams of visiting Fiji. That said, as you may know from reading this blog, that is how the majority of our trips start. Fiji, like so many other amazing places we have seen, is a long stopover in a journey that is the trip. What started as a Google Flights search turned into a beach hut with no electricity, meals cooked from the sea, and a Hilton stay on points, all for less than you might expect. Let me walk you through exactly how we made it happen.
