Ni Sa Moce Nananu
Unfortunately Nananu Island Lodge will be closing March 7th. Rick and I are sad to say goodbye but it will be turned into an untra-luxury time share resort in the next 5 years or so our little lovely backpackers has got to go.
Rick started here 3 years ago, we met here, were engaged and married here so it obviously holds a lot of unforgetable memories for us. It's been our home away from home since we've been here and the staff and people we've met here will always be in our hearts.
What a beautiful place on earth we've been so fortunate to embrace.
We'll be heading to Manta Ray Island Resort in the meantime. Another gorgeous island AND it's almost manta ray season.

Beautiful pictures taken by beautiful people
Here's just a few from Rick's skydiving bachelor party.
We're ever so grateful for the amazing job that both Sam and Dean did snapping pictures on our wedding day. They've truly captured it.

Kris, I always find your blog via Rick's link to 'my girl' - when he updates hi fish, do you think he should also update this to 'my wife' or 'my woman' or even the twee (but usually accurate) 'my better half'?

Joe tells me that bird of paradise flower looks great but smells awful: it looks fanatastic in your hair. Did it smell nasty?

I would have expected no less of Rick than to have found an ugly brown shirt to have worn! Hee Hee! Of course Kristin looks gorgeous as usual.
