Hi Everyone
I did a NAN run to get me over 2400 for the 50k points. This was my first SC run of any sort and would like to report back.
1. I broke the trip up a bit. I did SYD BNE MEL. Stayed at the Holiday Inn which you can walk to. Met up with a mate and then continued on with the journey. Holiday Inn is completely adequate.
2. Flew into SYD early, spent 5 hrs in the flounge which was too long. The spa treatment was as good as ever as was the salt and pepper squid.
3. Air Pacific. Seat 1A. Fantastic. so much space, reclines to about 150 degrees, very comfortable, the food's ok.
The plane is old though, the entertainment system isn't very good and the plane is rather noisy when the landing gear is coming down. I would happily pay 3k for a return trip to LAX via NAN in Air Pacific J.
4. Sofitel Denarau - I don't like it... They didn't recognise A-Club Plat until I complained the next day, ants in the room, geckos in the room. The worst thing is it's noisy in the morning. The sound from the halls just flow right into the room. I told them there were ants in the room... they didn't act very surprised or caring... They did post points immediately though.
5. The Pearl Pacific Harbour - adequate accommodation.
6. Novotel Nadi - the best accommodation of the trip. I got a deluxe room (upgrade for A-Club) and it's really nice and modern. Very clean, definitely recommended.
7. Other activities - Deap sea fishing - we caught 4 tuna's and 1 mahi mahi.
Jetskiing and snorkeling... jetskiing is surprisingly brutal.
2 rounds of golf at Denarau. Fun but lost a total of 8 balls.
Fijian Massages - fantastic.
I will post pics when I get back home and process them.
I highly recommend the trip for those who need the sc's and need a holiday also.
Edit: Finally a massive thanks to the forum for bringing to light this bargain.
