I’m writing this blog whilst lying on a king size day-bed on the deck of our Windward Pavilion at Qualia on Hamilton Island, so thought I should focus on an appropriate topic that fits the situation. Now I’ve got you drooling, the reason I mentioned is that I’m here to relax, chill out and do …
Last night, I went to bed excited, happy, raring to go and feeling ecstatic about the previous few days and what lies ahead. Not the best state to go to bed in from a sleep perspective, but I felt content and satisfied so surprisingly drifted off to sleep very quickly. This morning, I leapt out …
Last week, I was given the opportunity to undertake a ship inspection aboard P&O’s Pacific Aria and partake in a fabulous Luke Mangan ‘Salt Grill‘ lunch. Lucky me! It was a fantastic day and terrific to check out such a lovely ship. Pacific Aria carries 1500 passenger guests, so is a little different to the …

As we near the end of 2015, and get ready to welcome 2016, it’s a good time to start reflecting on your achievements of the past year, so that you can plan and list what you wish to achieve in the forthcoming year. It’s so important to look back and pat yourself on the back for the …
My recent trip to Wellington was a great few days away in a beautiful city situated on a magnificent, sprawling harbour. Wellington certainly lived up to reputation with the first couple of days being wild and windy beyond any expectation, but then the sun came out and we were able to enjoy the city in …
It’s that time of year when you could be out every single night if you wanted to be… pre-Christmas gatherings, Christmas parties, end of year celebrations, awards nights, networking events, meetings, the list is endless!
