mandja 22:51 UTC 04 Dec 2008 | I suggest that you do what I always do when arriving at Nadi - get $ from the ANZ ATM machine. It accepts Cirrus cards | 1
waluwalu 02:11 UTC 06 Dec 2008 | Yes there's a bank open 24/7 it's on your left. | 2
ozziegiraffe 12:55 UTC 06 Dec 2008 | RID is the preferred insect repellant in Australia for mosquitoes. | 3
mik_peka 23:34 UTC 07 Dec 2008 | Look for a chemical called DEET (diethyltoluamide) in the repellant, anything around 20% is good. I have some industrial strength stuff, 80% DEET. I think RID is about 15% and it works. | 4
raro 22:20 UTC 11 Dec 2008 | If it's Nov to April, I'd go with 80% DEET, lots more mozzies that time of the year. As flights do not always arrive on time, I'd cash maybe F$200 or so before you leave for Fiji, as it might be a close call to catch that Taveuni flight. | 5
