After having another look at our new quarters and the main living area again, we returned to the boat which took us back to the yacht, where we sat down to discuss the planning of relocating to Misery Island and agreed that the sooner we do the move the better so that the ship can be sent away from the region. When Sandra and her kids arrived back from their day trip to the islands, we all sat down for lunch. “Are you sure about all of this Xander, about giving us the Bungalow on West Islan

“Hello, I am Captain Paul, and this is my 1st Officer James, welcome onboard the Southern Explorer” we heard Captain Paul say to the first arrivals on the beach deck. “Hi, I am Sandra, and these are my children – Henry aged 13, Toby aged 11, Susan aged 9 and Jessica aged 7, and our skipper is Oliver Pearson,” the lady said in response, as our butlers started handing out soup to them, and the stewards wrapped blankets around their shoulders. “Please come upstairs and inside, out of this cold air,

I was amazed at how big the suite that we are assigned, with the views from the lounge area… Wow! After settling into our suite, Joshua and I entered the Storm Lounge on that same level, which is one deck down from the Bridge Deck, and although it is called D Deck, it is actually the second-highest deck on this super yacht or ship, I was not sure what it was really, just that it is huge. “How are you both settling into your quarters?” Xander asked as we approached the seating area that look

For the next week, a lot of things happened quickly. The Chinese government had sent a fleet of warships south to the 15th Parallel, where they attempted to fire rockets and torpedoes towards the Spratley Islands, but with the net in place, plus the Poseidon subs as backup, all rockets and torpedoes failing to get through the net. This resulted in the Chinese government once again making a formal complaint to the United Nations, which was ignored, and because of that heavy travel and trade sanct

The second building has a fitness gymnasium, a café, an undercover lap pool, four meeting rooms and a conference room, on the ground floor, and three floors of business suites, while the third building is almost identical to the second building, where outside there are two basketball courts and a tennis court. This building has the same features on the ground floor, two floors of family suites, plus a floor of recreation space above that, which includes a covered lap pool, spa pool, basketball c

As Josh and I jumped to stop Grandfather from falling too hard on the ground, shocked at what just happened, with Xander quickly on his mobile calling for an ambulance, while I began to assess Grandfather, to work out what is wrong before a hotel patron announced that he was a doctor as he approached and began to examine grandfather. “Tell the ambulance, that it appears to be a stroke,” the doctor said to Xander, who was still talking to the ambulance dispatcher, and less than twenty minutes lat

“We can discuss social politeness later when we are not so busy,” Mr Lloyd responded, as a voice came over the Video Link. “Aquaria to Project Team, do you copy us,” we heard the voice say and Joshua smiled. “That is Daniel, my stepfather,” Joshua said to me. “Receiving you loud and clear Aquaria, are you all set there, Daniel?” Mr Lloyd responded. “Yes sir, just waiting for your project team’s go-ahead,” Daniel replied, and I found two sets of eyes in the room looking at me. “What? Have I

“The Chinese Government today formally complained to the United Nations Security Council about the disabling of three of its ships travelling north in the South China Sea between the Spratly Islands and the Paracel Islands. It is understood, that in a space of about four hours, two destroyers and a supply ship lost most of their power, putting the ship and its crew at great risk, with just enough power to allow it to continue to the mainland at greatly reduced speed. The Chinese Government

I have been to these locations at Kakadu National Park, when i was about 23 years old, and it was quite an amazing holiday.

Later in the afternoon, Joshua had arranged for a limo to take us into the city, where we would be having dinner at a restaurant, where Joshua announced that we would be taking a tour of Kakadu National Park in the morning. “How are we getting there?” I asked, “Flying of course, I have chartered an E120 twin prop plane to take us to Jabiru Airport, which will take just over an hour to do, and it is a 7 km drive to the town of Jabiru,” Joshua replied. “Are we staying overnight?” I asked, “

Level 5 is entirely conference and recreation space, with a large conference room, 2 medium conference rooms, 4 meeting rooms, a kitchen and pantry, a formal dining room, a relaxation lounge, a fitness gymnasium and a swimming pool.

It has been close to three years since Ocean City has been fully operational at the Abrolhos Islands, off the coast of Western Australia, and since then, we have had a successful Cray Fishing Industry as well as a successful tourism industry all operating together, with our floating City being the heart of it all. The State Government was also very happy with the facilities, especially with the access that we allow to the Fisheries and the Parks & Wildlife Departments, and all of the additio

Sick of the long drawn out dispute, Hamysh T Lloyd recruits his grandson, to lead a project that will hopefully put a stop to the dispute and bring harmony to the region once more. The problem is, that the project requires the authorisation of six sperate nations as well as the UN's International Court of Justice. The name of the Project is; Bermuda Triangle Project, thought of by a passing comment made during the planning of the project.

By the time we reached the 3rd Term Spring holidays, we had all settled in well to our new life on Flinders Island, and both of my parents were enjoying the challenge of a new career as teachers, as they had originally planned. Dad informed us one evening, that the threats to the family were due to a decision made by Dad and his direct supervisor – the deputy consular general, to reject a visa application for someone in Zimbabwe. Although not caught yet, there is a major hunt in progress to
