You both look radiant! Colours are gorgeous. Samoa was on our wish list this year but went to Aussie to catch up with friends and family – look forward to some suggestions from you for a future visit
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Tanya

Cynthia
Wow, you’re on to it bright and early!Thanks for your greetings, Cynthia -Sinalei was a special time and place – no touristy things cos it was a return visit for us, but some exquisite opportunities to have more intimate time with locals, and get involved with an exciting fund-raising project in Poutasi village’s ukulele manufacturing enterprise! More later, and of course happy to share ideas anytime. Arohanui,
Tanya
Happy birthday ( if late) to a great inspiring woman !
Elisabeth
Yep, radiant is the right word! I was just about to write exactly that when I saw Cynthia’s comment. A beautiful photo. Love to you both,
