Goodbye from America...

This will be my last post from America, and as a single man. The pending Neptuials occur on Saturday, and then we wisk ourselves away to a romantic honeymoon in the South Pacific.

My next posting will hopefully be from Fiji (the resort has Internet access).

Stay tuned as I hope to post somethings from the honeymoon, including pictures... Plus, since we cross the international dateline and will be a day ahead of you here in the US, we'll know if the world ends (see all the news articles on North Korea) before you guys. If it does look like it will end, I will post a warning... :-)

So, goodbye for now... and as a tribute to Fiji, here are the multiple ways to say goodbye in Fijian:

Au sa liu mada
Moce mada

Ia, moce [reply to above]
Loloma yani
Au se lako mada [said by person leaving]
Au se gole mada [said by person leaving]
