So last weekend’s supposedly big hype power shut down didn’t happen due to very disagreeable weather. Understandably, I was elated, only to find out that we were merely postponing the inevitable, with the scheduled shutdown to now happen this upcoming weekend Saturday 19th April till Sunday 20th April. Great.

After having a little emo time to myself (I found a new corner!), I browsed the list I wrote last week to see if there was anything I wanted to get up to, and realized I had missed the most obvious choice when it comes to figuring out what to do during black out weekend.

1) Run away to the West. Duh.

I can’t believe I didn’t see this when I was first writing my ‘idle hands idle weekend’ post. For us suva people, the west holds everything ‘escape for the weekend’ dear to our hearts. Town not populated with faces we’ve seen everyday? Check. Abundance of beaches to flip out on? Check. Relatives you haven’t seen in awhile? Check. Party atmosphere with fresh meat a.k.a. tourists waiting for the kill? Check. Check. And Check. Who cares about Earth Hour when you’ve got 3 boxes of booze to go through? Who wants to sit at home with no power and twiddle their thumbs when they could be swimming with the fishes? (happy and alive thank you very much, and not the infamous italian reference)

Yes, as I said before, I can’t believe I missed that. So sue me.
