In this honeymoon edition of Quick Hits, DeAndre shares travel updates from Fiji as he and Taryn reach the halfway point of their month-long journey through Hong Kong, Fiji, and New Zealand. With no major breaking news in points and miles this week, the episode shifts focus to firsthand experiences, destination insights, and reflections from the road.

DeAndre highlights an extraordinary stay at Namale Resort, an adults-only, all-inclusive luxury property known as Fiji’s top resort. He breaks down what makes Fiji unique compared to destinations like the Maldives, emphasizing the depth of local culture, community connection, and unmatched service. The episode also touches on family-friendly travel in Fiji, including how resorts seamlessly integrate childcare into the guest experience.

Looking ahead, DeAndre previews the next leg of the honeymoon in New Zealand, including stops in Auckland, Queenstown, Milford Sound, and a multi-day RV adventure across the South Island. The episode wraps with reflections on community engagement, gratitude for listener support, and encouragement to consider Fiji as a standout destination, even if it’s not a traditional points-and-miles hotspot.
