i flew to fiji about 12 years ago for new year's, and arrived on what i learned was the third day of a major (and not moving )typhoon. i had paid for a dive vacation at matangi, and the typhoon prevented me from going anywhere. i stayed at the fijian and after about three days, i wound up buying a round trip on air pacific thru honiara to cairnes. i should've been suspicious when i saw there were candles in the drawers of the fijian (blackouts due to weather, i mean). you are going in typhoon season!
