WANTED – Island Caretaker Helpers! Update
Hi everybody!
Just wanted to give you all a quick update. In between my official duties as the Island caretaker I’ve been busy working with the guys at head office in Brisbane putting together an amazing itinerary for the winner; one that will surely be the best experience in the world! There are a lot of details to sort out but from what I have seen it is coming together very nicely indeed. I know you are all itching to know how to enter but all will be revealed shortly. I’m extremely excited to kick the competition off on the 26th.
Thanks for all the interest so far and stay tuned.

Shortly?
You’re killing me here….a week is forever when you are anticipating such an exciting announcement!
My heart rate goes up just thinking about it, then that giddy feeling in the pit of your stomach followed by an onslaught of ideas tripping over one another they come tumbling out so fast! I have pages of ideas, a rough daft of a blog layout drawn out and so many questions I’m driving my family to the brink of insanity with all my chatter.
A week really?

Very cool Ben! Sounds like an exciting idea. I’ll definitely be looking into it after a week in paradise here in sunny Florida, going to the beach in Siesta Key for sun, snorkeling, sailing and hoping to see a hatching turtle nest! Congrats on your win, keep up the great blogs!

Samir dos Santos on September 9th, 2009
Hiya mate,
i’ve already applyed for the job with my mates,
need not to look further as we are the perfect people for this job, all of us have special military background, wich i think will give us the edge as to spotting things that normally would go un-noticed as well as being abble to push the envelope when it comes to adventure, we all have sales jobs now, but we’re all very “itchy” to join you in this quest and would prove our best by joining you achieve all the goals you set us up for, and more…
The average age between us is 31 and we all speak perfect english, yup! thats it, we’re in our prime and eager for adventure, and what better than uncharted territory (for us) to satisfy our needs? there you go Ben… My name is Samir dos Santos, see you soon mate!
