... and a very helpful staff. Friday evening was another conference dinner, this time in the Atlantic Room at the Ocean Course Clubhouse (part of the golf resort). Wow, what a view of the sunset over the marsh! This dinner was really outstanding, in ...

... replied to some emails. The roast wasn’t such a good idea after all as I had real trouble cutting the meat &, as a last resort, had to use my fingers – lucky there were no other customers in there! I was heading out of town at the rate of ...

Hi everyone, we have been loving our stay here in Point Lonsdale, mainly visiting with family and catching up with a few of my old mates. The weather turned a little chilly, so all our recent swimming has been done in the indoor pool at the ...

... the Great Ocean Road. I was in the bad books as well as we had filled up all our memory cards so had to resort to a disposable camera and the camcorder! Whoops!! The rest of the drive along the GOR hugs the coastline and passes through laidback ...

... visitors centre to let the helpful staff sort us out. They came up trumps with 2 beds in a shared dorm in the lovely seaside resort of Lorne. Any port in a storm! It turns out that it was the same gaff that our mates Nicko and Milly had stopped at ...

... cerulean blue water and is quite lovely. This evening we were treated to dinner at the Hukilau Lanai at the Kaua'i Coast Resort by our vacation counseler. It was quite elegant and we truly enjoyed fish and steak dinners, with a very elegant chocolate ...

... sandy beaches and the swaying palm trees. This truly was my image of a desert island. On arrival, I was introduced to the resort staff - Annette (the cook), Elmar (the divemaster), Bev (my diving instructor for the PADI Advanced course I was going to ...

... Island) and a bus (from West of the island up to the North East) here we are on our South Pacific Island beach resort-incredible!  In between we fitted in a visit to Nick and Corinne in their new house in Sydney due entirely to their willingness to ...

... ham and cheese croissant and capuccino at our little bistro table we liked last year that looks out towards the pool and ocean. It's such a beautiful view. It allowed for more people watching too, as everyone comes through that way. After that it ...

... had promised Laurent that he would see one on the trip. We headed further down the coastline past Lorne, a popular seaside resort sandwiched between the mountains and the sea.  We were now on the Great Ocean Road, a spectacular coastal pathway hugging ...

... ! Thursday I left Nacula and boarded the Flyer again (sunny this time!) for the short trip down to Naviti Island and Korovou Resort. Korovou was cheaper than Oarsman's and the facilities weren't as nice, but the people were great (as always) and the ...

... Friday. Day 6; welcome to Nassau, Bahamas Land! After 6 days at sea I am excited to see the tall buildings of the atlantis resort on the horizon!! The weather is nice and warm already at 0730 with clear skies and calm seas, this really has been a great ...

... so strong in fact that a few of our group did not manage to get into this other cove, and the rest of us had to resort to crawling commando style, which is not all that graceful when wearing flippers. At first, it felt as if all this effort was ...

... Del Carmen, a beach resort about an hour down the coast - about 15 years ago it used to be a tiny fishing resort, until someone realised its tourist potential, leading to what it is today, a relaxing although extremely touristy seaside town. Thankfully ...

... in the hopes it'd spin around. The main reason people visit Monkey Mia is to go and see the dolphins that come in to the resort for a feed each morning. The Dolphins are pretty much in control. If they're not happy or don't fancy turning up then that's ...

... Viewing them is even more impressive if done from the shores of Jenny Lake lying at their feet. We made our way to the ski resort town of Jackson, Wyoming and stopped at the visitor's center there which sat on the edge of an elk preserve. The center was ...

... room with weights, 2 ellipticals, a stair climber, and one semi-working treadmill.  But perhaps this is fitting for a beach resort - the point is to enjoy, rather than exercise away your consumption.  In the end, we did get some exercise in with ...

... boa constrictor here too!! VERY cool. From here we went to another Koala sanctuary - OVER the koalas - seriously, buy this point i was beginning to wander where the penguins were? We finally made Phillip Island and promptly went over to another island to ...

... here on the equator!  Once the second dive was finished, we hung out a bit longer having lunch before returning to the resort.  There was no hurry in getting back, as we had to head straight through a storm that had crept across the ...

We got to our hotel, the Jeeva Klui Beach Resort, at around 3 pm and Paige absolutely loved it. It was pretty luxurious with a 25 m infinity pool (yes, I could finally do some laps!) and our beach suite with wonderful ocean view.     It's a bit ...

... first time since South America for the 9 hour journey down to Airlie Beach - gateway to the Whitsunday islands and a beautiful coastal resort with a pretty impressive swimming lagoon which, being free, we have made plenty of use of. Here we met up with ...
