When Opportunity Knocks Open The Door


Today was just another day like any other. The DOW hit 10,000 for the first time in many months then slumped back down to just below that mark. I do not pretend to be one that 'buys' into the market. I merely mention this here because of the obvious impact that the 'market' has on the world.

I can recall not that long ago as I was walking along the beach of Beau Vallon one afternoon and as I did picking up on the interesting bits of conversation here and there. Yes even in this beautiful setting one could here visitors to the shores of the Seychelles talking about the 'market' and the volatility of Wall Street.

For me when one gets away one should 'get away'! Don't you think? I do. After all here we are on one of the most outstanding beaches in the world - seashells, coco-nut trees, the mighty Takamaka tree, beautiful scenery all around. Get Away Time Indeed!

Its going on 9pm in the evening or about 5 am in the Seychelles. Right now as I look out the window there is a slight chill in the air - ok not slight but definite chill and a cold rain which falls. If this continues the morning should be a fun affair indeed. How good it would be to feel the warmth of the tropic sun on my skin! Dream on!

The day will soon close for me and as I mentioned in the opening one day like any other. I was fortunate to meet a nice family from Canada,B.C, French speaking and we exchanged a few interesting words both in French and English. As well a couple from Italy on holidays in the US. As always I bring up the Seychelles and try to get them to visit.

Exchanging cards the Italian couple said that next summer they would give it a try. That was nice of them and I hope to hear from them to make their visit to the Seychelles a reality.

I will terminate for now and pick up again tomorrow. Before I do however I would ask a favour of a visit to one of our travel sites. If you do I would further ask that you price compare what we have on offer for Air Travel, Hotel Bookings against the other better known online sites. 68% of the time customers to our site found that we were in fact better priced! It does not hurt to give it a look - no?

Thank you in advance for your visit! More in a bit.
