# One stop on way to Australia Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
tonia1976 18:35 UTC 08 Mar 2008 | I have a ticket to Australia and have one stop en route from VAncouver. Where should I stop?Some people say Figi. Others say NZ? Anywhere else? I only have 6 weeks total for my entire trip so it would only be a week or so there and the rest in Australia. Helpful suggestions? |

raro 03:24 UTC 10 Mar 2008 | I'd pick Fiji, much different than aust as mentioned above. NZ is similar, though some differences of course, but fiji is another world. Hawaii---well, you can always visit that from Vancouver relatively easily. | 3
Laszlo 01:36 UTC 11 Mar 2008 | Just to confuse you further, I'd pick New Zealand. I found it very different from AU, very beautiful, and overall it offers much more to see than Fiji. OTOH, NZ could also be a cheap side-trip from AU on a Virgin ticket, so if you want to get value out of your stopover, Fiji is the one. | 4
