For many years Tahiti has been considered a once in a life time trip....perhaps the dream honeymoon or special anniversary trip. Tahiti will most definitely deliver all of this and more....however, dream vacations also come at a cost, and it is fair to say that Tahiti is on the higher end of the scale.
However, what people are not aware of, is that Tahiti is currently the most economical and best value for money in the South Pacific...that's right, we have so many discounts that apply for 2011/2012 that Tahiti is now more economical thant the Cooks and Fiji when considering the same standards of accommodations.
If you have ever been considering Tahiti for your dream vacation, now is the time to take advantage of the huge discounts being offered.
For example....10 Nights in a Private Bungalow with a Private Plunge Pool at the Hilton Moorea including breakfasts, return flights, taxes from LAX and all transfers/ferrys is only CAD3969.00 per person.
The Value for money is definitely 110% Tahiti in the South Pacific right now.
Get down to Tahiti now and see for yourself what everyone is talking about!
We hear of people every day moving to Australia or New Zealand.....and we hear from even more people wanting to move to Australia or New Zealand.
It may seem like a great opportunity to better your life style, but it is important to remember that every country has it's share of problems, they are just different from your current situation. For example, you may want to consider the following issues before moving to Australia:-
1. The block heater plug on your car will not comply with Australian electrical outlets
2. Your winter coats will just take up space in your new home by the beach
3. Sand being walked into your house
4. Your lungs will probably suffer from breathing fresh outside air all year round
5. Your Curling Game will go down hill fast
6. There is no telling how much money you will spend on Sun Hats
7. Your local pharmacy will feel the pinch when you stop buying Vitamin D Tablets
8. The local tanning salon will miss your contributions and may go out of business
9. You will not know what to do with all the extra vacation time (Aussies get a standard
4 weeks a year)
10. You will have to put your family & friends up when they come to visit.
If you are considering the move to Australia and we have not managed to talk you out of it mentioning all the above horrible pittfalls, then you should check out the following link about how you can make your dream a reality.

Just by coming along to this event, you could win a trip to Australia!


Tasmania is extremely popular for tourism...offering convict history, wild life, breathtaking scenery, beautiful beaches, wineries, markets and the freshest air in the world!
But with all this, it is quite surprising to know that touring options in this incredible part of the world are quite limited.
There are two major tour companies that offer fully escorted coach touring, AAT Kings & Australian Pacific Touring. These two tour companies always fill up their tours about 6 to 8 months in advance, espcially during the high season months of December/Jan/Feb & March. Basically, the key to getting on these tours is to book as early as possible to avoid dissapointment. These two companies offer wonderful itineraries of Tasmania and are the only tour operators to offer a product that is suitable for the mature age comfort style traveler.
Top Deck Tours offer tours that work very nicely for the youth market of 18 to 39 year olds. They offer quad share accommodations for all males or all females to share. The accommodations are somewhat of a slight level higher than hostels which keeps the cost down significantly......a definite benifit for the younger traveler.
Adventure Tours Australia offer tours of a soft adventure nature in the Tasmania area. These tours are marketed towards any age group....however, probably not the best for young children. Adventure Tours Australia allows clients on the same tour to choose between accommodation styles. Some passengers will stay in hostels while others will stay in motels. Small group tours of around 21 passengers total combined with their flexible accommodation options, makes Adventure Tours Australia a very popular option when traveling Tasmania.
