Liku'Alofala Beach Resort   ---  ALMOST  perfect.

It was cool to be in the air over the Pacific Ocean for midnight 2018.  After a pretty comfortable 25 hours of travel through Charlotte, Los Angeles and Nadi, Fiji I am at the Friendly Island of Nuku'afalo, Tonga watching a new year arrive around the globe.  It is a wonderful and tropical place and instead of missing my best friends at home I am wishing they were here at the Liku'Alofa resort, which is a cool collection of little bungalows on the ocean.

New Year 2018 -  And I will Follow the Comet Across the Skies for All Eternity.....This time to the Island of Nuku'Afalo, Tonga.  As usual I have no idea what to expect other than my bungalow, the Likualfoa "resort" looks like it is nicely located at the northern tip of the island, which is 10 miles long and 9 miles wide.
