Having shed her manager of nine years and married dancer Kevin Federline after a whirlwind romance, Britney Spears says she's taking a break from her career to enjoy life. And it seems the first step in the former child star's pop respite is a relaxing trip to Fiji with her new husband.
Wearing a long burgundy skirt and shades as she stepped off a jet at Nadi International Airport with hubby Kevin, the My Prerogative singer was also sporting an undeniable grin. Boarding a seaplane, the couple were then whisked away to a private hideaway, where Britney and Kev could enjoy their honeymoon in style.
Located in the South Pacific, Fiji is a favourite getaway for famous names such as Nicole Kidman, Crown Prince Felipe and Pierce Brosnan – Arnold Schwarzenegger is said to own an island there – and features one of the world's hottest celebrity vacation spots, the Wakaya Club resort. The luxury cottages start at $1,800 a night and run to a staggering $6,500 for the "House In The Clouds".
Apparently for Britney, who has written an on-line letter to her fans revealing she's "going to take some time off to enjoy life", Fiji offers just the type of R&R she needs. And the faraway 300-island archipelago will also help her achieve another of her stated goals: "My prerogative right now is to just chill and let all of the other overexposed blondes… be your entertainment."
Britney may have more surprises in store – and possibly some baby news – after her trip. "Being married is great and I can't wait to start my family!" she writes, adding: "The next time you see my face, hear one of my songs or even if I'm the topic of your next conversation, please remember that times are changing and so am I."
