One of the highlights of the incentive trips are the PILLOW GIFTS!!!

I have to admit that I did “borrow” a few pictures from a few of my demo friends as I ripped into MOST of my pillow gifts before taking pictures!  Thanks to Denise Donald, Kay Kalthof and Linda Heller for helping me with this post!

When we walked into the room, this was in front of the bed:

and this message from Shelli was on the bed!

A great tote for carrying towels on excursions!

 a box full of NEW PRODUCT (sorry can’t show you yet)

a hat for me and a backpack for him

 exclusive Fiji Lotion and Sugar Scrub.  NICE!!!

Can you believe there were MORE gifts??  Yes!!!  There were poolside gifts, bean bag toss gifts, gifts from general session, gifts at the final dinner.  

one word: SPOILED!!!

I loved every minute of this trip!  So looking forward to the Western Caribbean cruise next year!

These 2 days were pretty much relaxing by the pool, reading,  plus our Final night Dinner and share time and Swaps.

The pool was beautiful when the sun came out:

Here our some highlights from Day 3.  Besides relaxing at the pool and reading lots of books we went on a AMAZING jet ski safari.  I loved this.  We each had our own jet ski!

There were LOTS of Demos on this snorkel adventure!

 A few shots from my underwater camera:  These were really blue in real life.  I was disappointed in the reef because I expected it to look like something out of “Finding Nemo”, but they said it was damaged and brown from the Hurricane that destroyed a lot of the islands in December of last year. 

a shot looking back

I fed the fish some bread to get them closer.  It worked, but was hard to work the camera underwater and with a mask.  It was pretty much aim and hope for the best!

these were so bright blue in real life!!!

My husband.  We raced on these it was so fun.

The rest of the day was relaxing by the pool and doin’ NOTHING!

Our Excursion on day 2 way white water rafting.  WHEW!!! what a long day.  We left at 5 am and returned to the hotel at 7 PM.  Lots of crazy bus riding and a great River Tour.

Here are a few of my favorite pics:

Our group getting off the SUPER BUMPY 1.5 hour bus ride just to get to the river!

FUN!

Beautiful!

Lots of paddling!

a lunch break with my new BFF Michele Zindorf and her husband Russ!  and our guide Abraham.  He like to sing.  

OMG- I had curly hair here in Fiji.  It was unruly and looked like a perm.

My sweet husband Brian (he’s never on the blog)  (oh dear my hair!)

the cute dog at the end of our trip that was begging for treats and attention.  

See you tomorrow for Day 3!

General Session:  Very cool Fiji dancers and a band.  Lots of give-aways and Prizes and the AWESOME new catalog!

The lizard That paid our room a visit.  Never saw him again after this and the hotel staff swore he did not like luggage!

the beag bag toss for daily prizes.  They ROCKED and were all new product!

The Resort Day 1.  Yes it was raining, sometime a down pour!  a blessing though as we needed some serious sleep after the many many travel hours!  The pool was FAB!

in the hospitality room- unlimited Fiji water for us.  AWESOME!!!

Here is where we gather to hang out and catch up with friends! check in each day and drop off swaps.
