layovers in photos

Pictures, pictures! :)  I don't have any pictures from two of the stops on my recent travels, but here are some from the rest.  It was fun to see bits of the culture and nature of the different places where I had layovers. 

At the airport ready to go -- Day 1!

In Fiji - Day 2

Fiji
One of the fun things about the Fiji airport (Nadi) is that they have a group of musicians who play local music to welcome planes that land and say good-bye to planes that depart.  Everyone greets you with "Bula," which means 'hello.'


Orchids in a waiting lounge


Christmas Island
At Christmas Island we all got off the plane and sat on a couple of benches on the runway while we waited for the plane to be cleaned and the departing passengers bags to be unloaded.  At one point they had us all go through a tiny little building for a security check.  It was nice that it wasn't raining because we would not have all fit inside at the same time! :)

It was pretty flat so you can't see much, but the sun was setting.


Honolulu
In the Honolulu airport there is a beautiful outside garden that is inspired by Japanese and Chinese gardens.  It is a wonderful place to spend an hour or two.


What a fun tree!



This type of bamboo is named Buddha Belly. :)

Colorado
What a great place to have lunch on the way home! :)
