Our Arrival in Samoa

Talofa (Hello) and Malo (Hi) everyone

Well we are finally here. After 3 months of preparations and waiting, waiting, waiting for either police checks, visas or tickets we have made it to Samoa. We arrived on the most entertaining flight I have ever been on. It was Pacific Blue and during the flight we were treated to exercises with the crew and gospel singing from one of the flight attendants. We stayed the first night at the Insel Fehmarn hotel, as we arrived at 9.30pm, and were recognised by 1 of the reception staff as having stayed there before! The room was set up to greet us in the usual Samoan style which is to have the TV blaring on the rugby channel and the air conditioning and fans going full bore! The next morning we were offered the “Champagne special” for breakfast so we were able to toast our first day in Samoa.
