Fiji Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia
The locals in Fiji have a saying, “Bulla,” which means “life” and “good health.” You’ll hear it used frequently as a greeting when you arrive at the 330-strong islands that comprise this archipelago. You may even find yourself saying it before long!
Any Fiji tour will highlight its magnificent, unspoiled waters and lush landscapes. Go snorkeling, swimming, diving, and sailing on turquoise waters. If you’d rather stay on dry land, you can zipline through rainforests or explore the windy plains of the highland area. Travel to the interior and learn about traditional Fijian culture, or visit the capital city of Suva and wander through its colonial buildings, bazaars, and the quiet harbor.
Two-thirds of the Fijian archipelago are uninhabited, and your Fiji sightseeing should include a stop at Denarau’s marina, where you can book a boat to take you to some of these pristine locations. From family-friendly islands to romantic getaways, you’ll find something to your taste amongst these scattered isles.

View of Paris from Saint-Cloud (Stern Garden)
France was having a country-wide Garden Weekend, so gardens held special events, and gardens normally not open welcomed visitors for three days.
Saint-Cloud is just over the Seine on a West side of Paris, and from times of the Monarchy has been important. Sèvres porcelain, movie studios, rich estates and a steep terrain give it unusual aspects and points of interest. Somewhat stodgy, quirky, wealthy, but also simply old and with aspects of decay, Saint-Cloud is now easier to reach thanks to a tramway, but really, it's never seemed to worry about being very accessible in modern times.
Ms. Stern was a painter and her home overlooking Paris was fairly recently classified as being of historical interest. On this clip, you can see how Paris really is in Le Bassin Parisien, a bowl if you will, making it a place of rather unhealthy air -- the Western and Southwestern heights were generally considered the desirable places to live, for good reasons (health and aesthetics).
You can see an RER train here, but you can also get here by taking a métro (MOLITOR is one possibility) to the Seine and a city bus from there, or you can also take a tramway from La Défense. Via automobile, you are likely to find traffic a headache.
I worked in Saint-Cloud for awhile in the '90s, and from Saint-Denis where I live, it was a long commute with many transfers. From Saint-Cloud, a royalty route allowed for travel to Versailles and other points without having to enter Paris. I have several clips up on the Internet of a good museum in Saint-Cloud. I always feel a bit unwelcome there, which I find interesting. So much is locked away behind sturdy gates and walls.

This video is about Ladew Topiary Gardens and my vision
Gîte Le Jardin (Dauphin, France)
Because we rented this house the second week of September, it was only 300 euros. It sleeps six. Instead of paying 50 euros for the owners to clean it once we left, we cleaned it ourselves. It was way too big for us and we didn't use one of the bedrooms and the upstairs bathroom at all. It has six terraced gardens and was built over a period of three years around vestiges of an ancient tower, part of the village defense system in Dauphin, France.
Alpes-de-Haute-Provence is the département for Dauphin, and Provence is a general term for a lot of Southeastern France, along and not far from the Mediterranean. Lubéron is also sometimes another name for this region and refers to at least one mountain range.
There is a floating spiral staircase central to this house and one side of it is pretty much glass. The roofs are gardens of succulent plants and the other gardens adjacent to the house and accessible from its three-plus levels have tables and chairs, olive trees, a huge grape arbor, deck chairs you can move out for sunbathing, et cetera. This is not on any street or road and access was not easy. This house would not much be suited to those with serious mobility issues.
Dauphin has only a couple of restaurants, one bar (I think, I didn't go) and the bakery is about to close, as the couple who ran it for 43 years are retiring. The village of Mane is only about 5 km away, however, and the ancient city of Forcalquier is only about 10 km away, and that has the largest market in the entire region (every Monday) and small daily markets featuring organic and other locally produced, seasonal products -- all services and activities you might need can likely be found there. You do need an automobile here (we rented one in Avignon) but I noticed men and women hitchhiking as a daily matter of course.
Gîte Le Jardin is wonderfully tranquil. The only noise we heard were church bells and sometimes, a rooster crowed and cicadas sang. This part of France has almost no light pollution, so is a stargazer's delight and there is a huge observatory nearby in Saint-Christophe which welcomes the public for events, day and night.
