This was one terrific day!

May 31-June 9(6/2-6/9-stay dates)
Used the PHX departure.

Unsure where I'll be staying but have found a few interesting things.
1.Grand Opening 7 Nights Special $999 (US$) per person, based on double occupancy. All meals included.
here
2. Enjoy the highlights of Nadi with 3 nights stay at the Tanoa International.(599-includes stuff) as seen here
frommer 2*
3. And if you're outa your frickin mind and think that just because you saved a bundle on getting here and can afford to splurge a bit on the lodging then go here
$1400-2300/couple/night, does not include transers($400)
but if you stay 5 nights you can get one free

Doppy JFK 28 May 5 June 2

Not sure on land yet. Probably going to SYD for three nights then the last three nights in Fiji, somewhere. Have tentative reservations at one of the Sheratons.

did you book from IAD?
 

Did you book LAX-NAN-LAX separate or the complete trip out of IAD?

I need to book from EWR-LAX-EWR actually.. but was just curious which way you booked your ticket

IAD-LAX is a seperate ticket from LAX-NAN

I started a thread in TravelBuzz! soliciting advice on Fiji:

*********************************
I've been lurking around for the past week. Awesome site. I got in on this deal from a cross post on SD. Thanks to everyone, but esp Channa ^ ^ and psuedoswede ^ from SD.

dohvegas, WAS-LAX separately, 5/15-5/22, My free IPOD and I ;), no hotel res yet

Update for my information:

Two people, staying at the Sheraton Royal Denarau

5/21 LAX Presidents Club (Terminal 6)
 

For those of you flying into LAX on 5/21 into T6/T7/T8 (which would be on United or Continental), Nicksterguy and myself are both Presidents Club members who would be able to guest in three (3) additional guests. Terminals 6, 7, and 8 are all interconnected airside (behind security).

We will be arriving at:

- 522pm (Nicksterguy)
- 540pm (channa + SO)

and will head over to the Presidents Club at Terminal 6 for a few hours before heading to TBI for Air Pacific. If anyone would like to join us for free drinks, snacks, and WiFi, please post.

Even you die-hard United Red Carpet fans, we'd be happy to guest you in as well...unless you really like paying for your drinks at the RCC. :D

I will be there 5/15-5/22. Staying at the Sheraton Royal Denaru SPG50 rate.

Wife and I are both AMEX Plat... should be able to get some guests in as well since we'll be flying in on CO...right? I'm new at the AMEX Plat thing. I don't think we'll be there til 7-ish though.

Edit: we will be staying at Qamea resort until 5/26, when we will join everyone at the Sheraton Royal Denarau.

tvl4free 4/23-5/1 Sheraton Denarau Villas w paaaaaaaaatay of 5 (merging at LAX )

Would you be kind enough to post a review of the villas upon return, I leave after you return, can't get in there but am currently trying too get in to the villas.

Currently I'm at the Sheraton Fiji Resort

Edited to add:

Is anyone coming into L.A. a day early (5/20 Friday) prior to their trip departing LAX on the 21st? ditto on staying an extra day on 5/28 upon return to LAX?
