1. Wandering down to the water's edge with my partner — now wife — Louise, we watched the sunset on the beautiful Dolphin Island. "Maybe we should get a gin and tonic," I said. And, at that exact moment, as the sun faded into the Pacific and a colony of bats stirred from nearby trees to dance in the dim light, a staff member stepped out from behind a tree with two gin and tonics and a glorious smile. Well played, Fiji.

2. I never really "got" Fiji. I knew it was a lovely place to go, but it was never high on my wish list. My mind was changed — and blown — in February, when I spent a week island-hopping in the Yasawa and Mamanuca chains. Oh! The white sand! The temperate sea! The friendly people! The sunsets! So many exclamation marks, but each one well deserved. I came back tanned,relaxed, and a total convert. Book me in for my next visit ...
