Holiday package
Late last year I purchased a holiday package for Florida thinking that family would use it. Unfortunately circumstances changed and they couldnt go. We had taken the same holiday in 2013 and it was great. The package is for up to 4 people, for 6 days/ 5 nights in Orlando, 3 days/ 2 nights in Fort Lauderdale, 5 days/ 4nights Puerto Vallarta Mexico, 3 days/ 2 nights Las Vegas, and 4 days/ 3 nights Bahamas cruise (has a cost), bonus 7 day rental car or $150 credit for Orlando Disney attractions. I paid US$398 (NZ$587.21). To get it for this amazing price you must attend a sales presentation for an hour or 2 promoting the benefits of owning an interest in a timeshare.(you can be very adamant that you dont want to buy of course) and then you have an amazingly cheap holiday. NO airfares included. The holiday has to be used by 20th Dec 2018 and booked at least 45 days prior. I am wanting to sell it. It is fully transferable. If you or anyone you know is interested please get in touch with me. Tell your friends and family. Thanks.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
