Pacific Storm I

Pacific Storm I was, as with these trips a 'spur of the moment' idea. Dominic, my dive buddy was working out in Australia and New Zealand and he had e-mailed me with an idea!

A few weeks later I had booked my flights with Air New Zealand:

  • London to Tonga
  • Fiji to Vanuatu
  • Vanuatu to Fiji
  • Fiji to New Zealand
  • New Zealand to Tonga
  • Tonga to Tahiti
  • Tahiti to Bora Bora
  • Bora Bora to Tahiti
  • Tahiti to London
UK, USA, Fiji, Vanuatu, Fiji, New Zealand, Tonga, New Zealand, Tahiti, Bora Bora, Tahiti, USA and home to the UK!
Quite a few flights!

I left London's Heathrow airport on Wednesday 23rd of October 2003 and flew out to Los Angeles with Air New Zealand. The flight was pretty uneventful, and having done a days work back in the UK I managed to sleep most of the way. I had a couple of hours stop-over in LA, before hopping on another flight down to Fiji.

I met up with Dominic at the airport in Fiji, something two days after I left the UK due to crossing the date line! It took me about 24 hours to fully recover from the flight before heading off to Vanuatu.
