Life in January on Treasure Island Resort

Bula Everybody, We continue to enjoy exceptional weather in Fiji and we have been remarkable busy for a part of the world that has made the headlines for all the wrong reasons! All I can add on this issue is life is as normal and we continue to work hard of improving peoples perception that Fiji has been unsafe due to the political issues that arose in December 06, I can only reiterate that you would not know if there were any issues at all in our special piece of paradise. Come on over and see for your self.
On a more exciting tone we at Treasure Island Resort have been blessed with the pleasure of being a nesting Island for the extremely endangered hawks bill turtles. We have spent every second day in January 2007 releasing our 1 year old turtles to help the population recovery in some small way. We have also been very blessed to have had a visit from a very large green turtle last weekend and has laid some 100 eggs. We are currently rearing 200 baby hawks bill turtles for release some time next year.
I attach an image of Michelle with son Issac returnees to Treasure Island releasing one of our turtles. I also post an image of me with my very special family that seem to go with the flow while I live my dream.
We all look forward to saying hello if you decide to visit us on our very special Island
Vinaka and God Bless you all.

Christmas Eve on Treasure Island in the Fijian Islands

Bula to everyone,
Well Christmas Eve is upon us and we have just checked in 85 guest from around Fiji and abroad. The team have done a marvelous job with all guest settled and involved in the Islands activities from the start.
Tonight will be a normal Sunday night with church at 5.30pm for our valued staff in our own church ready for what will be a busy week ahead.
For those who have been listening to the news, Fiji is in for troubled times (economically) for the foreseeable future.
We are blessed with some of the most gifted staff when it comes to hospitality we focus on our "Treasure Island family" promise and with such wonderful people we will get through these tough times together and for the families they all support.
My family and I have lived on Treasure Island for over 12 months, living on a 7 acre Island has wonderful advantages, we wake up to the sounds of the Pacific Ocean everyday and sound in the knowledge we will have a great time focusing on our valued guest.
Christmas day will start off with the Island's choir moving through the Island welcoming in Christmas day with Christmas carols in the morning. We will have a morning tea for all the guests at 9.30am to wish everybody a wonderful day. Santa will arrive at 10.30am to share gifts with the children on the Island.
