It is out there in the vast Pacific Ocean where the waters are warm. That was October of 2018.

When I was there on a day stop in Suva, I saw areas that were very poor.

The people were so grateful towards those buying their wares. I bought 2 beautifully made dresses for my younger granddaughters from a local seamstress there. She asked $45 for them. I gave her $60. She beamed and said "Bola".
