Apr.11.2021 It takes some doing to get to Fiji but once you look up at a night sky full of the Southern Cross stars, feel the soft breeze, and the warm smiles of your hosts fill your heart, jet lag will evaporate -- or nearly. I can still hear the soft harmonies of a trio of guitarists at dinner on my first night on Taveuni, Fijiâs third-largest island. We were close to the Namena Marine Reserve, which Jacques Cousteau helped create. He inspired thousands of divers and snorkelers to visit local waters that are home to whales, dolphins, a vast variety of corals, at least four species of sea turtles, and more than a thousand species of fish.
