Sounds like you had a lot of fun!
It will be a long time before I get to enjoy a nice vacation. (I just got hit in the face with a wicked massive financial "Uh-oh" so in order to get out of that giant "F-you" I got in my email box it will be a hard fight. But I have a plan! It's not gonna be fun but as long as no emergencies come up I'll be out of this debt)
Man, Fiji has to be an awesome visit! Food is some of the best reasons to travel for me. (Probably why I am fat! Fewd for the soul)

Been.... here. Last year was rough. Rented a room of my house to my niece with no contract and was left in a massive financial mess. Things got so tense I ended up making an apartment downstairs I lived in and rarely went upstairs. When I finally had enough and with help had her thrown out I had to replace all the upstairs furniture except for one couch and the coffee table which is still ruined and I had to replace a lot of appliances. I may have to replace the kitchen counters because where the dishwasher screws into the counter top is stripped and larger screws aren't working. 
No real projects, but I have a lot in the plans as money allows! I am taking the detailing on the Camaro more seriously, there are some areas that get missed on a lot of street cars that I am giving some attention to. Like painting the inside of the fender wells black, the gas tank, even under the grille behind the hood and some areas under the hood. My biggest upgrade is going to be a pain, mostly sourcing materials I can afford, is a trunk finishing kit I have that covers all the ugly stuff in the trunk like the taillight buckets and the lock mechanism. I need to get some vinyl which normally not all the expensive, but the colors I want to use are. I may forgo the purple with black and do teal as the accents. There will be an embossed Chevrolet bowtie. It's a custom version of one of these.

But yeah, money is tight as hell. My property tax went way up and I have to come up with $3000 by end of April. It can be done, but it's going to suck getting there. But I can brag about owning a house that was $175,000 when I moved in and currently is estimated to be $375,000! I have a plan to get out of debt, it wont be fun but once it's done I'll be living nice!
