A Pre- (and Post-) Flight Celebrity Sighting /

Blogger's note: The good news is, we can buy Internet access (20 Fijian cents a minute) from our current location, the Nadi Bay Hotel in Fiji. The bad news is, we can't upload photos. The injustice of it all, I know! So I'll try to do this without the assistance of Flickr visual aids.

Before Sarah dropped us off at LAX, we saw Jordis Unga (of Rock Star INXS semi-fame) walking with a friend on Melrose. Bryan spotted her, and I ran up to see if she was photograph-friendly. Negative. Jordis does report "no, not really" when asked if she's singing these days. Our brief meeting was a disappointing addition to my nice little cache of star interludes, though I'm heartened by the reminder of what a great celebrity sighting team Bryan and I make.

Then we sat on a plane for 11 hours, only to be greeted after landing by a group of Fijian singing celebrities that looked like this -- at 3 a.m. Much more impressive than Jordis.

We spent our first morning in paradise at an airport-side hotel watching the Super Bowl (minus the U.S. commercials). Then we sat by the pool and tried to ignore our glaring whiteness.

We're really excited to be here.

So glad you made it! I'm sure you both look even cuter in Fiji, especially with your exotic white complexions! Miss you!!
