Fun Fact: On a list of the 25 least visited countries in the world, Tonga ranks #19. So if you feel the need to spend large amounts of money, come on out and tell us hello!

Tomorrow, Abby and I will board the The MV 'Otuanga'ofa for a 24-28 hour boat ride back to Vava'u. We will pass by the island of Ha'apai, Tonga's third largest which was completely devastated by Cyclone Ian. This will be sad to see as we are all praying for Ha'apai. The Peace Corps Volunteers who were assigned there have been pulled out as the island is 80% destroyed.
The positive side is we could not be more excited to get back to our home, school and Lucky. We have been on the road since December 17th and are so ready to be home! We will resume your regularly scheduled blogging soon.
'Ofa Atu!
PS~The positive side of being in the capital today was watching the Donkeys beat up on Brady and the Pats. Apologies to our dear friends in Seattle, Nick and Liz, and all my Chiefs brothers, but I love Peyton so we are on the Broncos bandwagon :).
