vetdiver:Hi -
My husband and I are going to the Solomons (Bilikiki liveaboard) for our second anniversary in June 2006. We are using United miles to fly business class from the east coast of the USA, and we found that part of the planning to be the most difficult...or at least, it was difficult to get info regarding the itinerary via Auckland to Brisbane...and NOTHING was ever available when we checked for availability. Things got considerably easier when we began looking at flying via LAX or San Fran to Sydney...the seats miraculously opened up (apparently the Air NZ flights are renowned for being difficult to use United miles on).
I'd recommend you contact United, use your miles to get where you can in "the region" on the dates you want, then have a travel agent in that part of the world (we are using Reef and Rainforest) arrange the rest for you, including additional flights. You could stay in Sydney for a few days, for instance, at a more urban hotel, eating at a few fab restaurants, then head out to PNG or Fiji for the romantic beach thing...
Congrats!!
rhyme:!@#!@#, now PNG looks awesome.
Cant decide.
rhyme:I'm not concerned about the State Departments travel warnings. With Mr. kuku bananas at the helm here in the USA and the Department of Needlessly Worrying now funded by the Oil and Gas Division of Scaring You ....
~~~~~~~PRICELESS !!! ~~~~~~~~~~~:jestera:
My sentiments exactly

You misunderstood me that time, I have nothing against Fiji whatsoever, in fact I kind of hoped to visit that area this April. I just think that that's a good thing to keep in mind if planning a trip there, and maybe making the decision to head to the other islands instead of staying in Suva to avoid all of the pre-election hustle and bustle.
Either way, I've heard some positive reviews of Kulu Bay Resort on Beqa.
