Since that time, Turtle Island has been transformed into one of the premier sustainable luxury destinations in the world. Accommodating only 14 couples at any given time, the private island resort maintains its reputation of being "hyper-romantic" by catering to the every need of the couples they serve. Enjoy sunset dinners over the water, daybreak horseback rides in the surf, reserve one of the island's 14 private beaches and enjoy a luncheon of lobster and champagne dropped off for you by cart or boat, or just relax at your bure and catch up on a good book. Turtle Island has been mentioned on 'Oprah' and has received sterling reviews in 'Conde Nast Traveler'. The island also made headlines in the early 2000s as the honeymoon destination of both Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, and Trista and Ryan Sutter of Bachelorette fame. Really, check out the website for more pictures and details. (www.turtlefiji.com)Our story is that my wife and I took our honeymoon to Turtle Island in December 2004, and enjoyed ourselves so fully that we banked another trip, intending to use it at a later 5- or 10-year anniversary. Since then, we have had some life-changes that have made it less likely that we will end up using the banked vacation. (No, we're still married.) So, we're looking to sell. We aren't trying to make money off the trip, just to recoup the majority of its value and see that another couple gets to enjoy themselves. Details of the trip: - 8-days; 7-nights stay for two in a Grand Bure on Turtle Island - Round-trip Seaplane flight for two from Fijian capitol of Nadi to Turtle Island- included - All food and drink is included (if you have requests, you may arrange for them to be stocked, especially for you) - One complimentary lomi-lomi massage for each guest - Deep-sea fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing, horseback riding, biking, etc.- included Current Value (as reported on the turtlefiji.com website): - 7 nights for two at Grand Bure -- $12,348 + 17.5% tax = $14,509 - Seaplane flight for two round trip -- $790 + 15.5% tax = $912 - TOTAL CURRENT COST: $15,421 If you win the bid on this vacation, our banked package is fully transferable. We just need to notify Turtle Island Holidays of the change of ownership. There won't be much by way of paperwork and most can be handled by phone or fax. Obviously, no shipping charges apply. The only thing that you'd have to arrange in terms of travel is the flight to Nadi, Fijian Islands. Air Pacific and Air New Zealand each have non-stop flights from L.A. Turtle Island even has a deal that if you book a round-trip business-class ticket (LAX-NAN-LAX) through their agency, they will give them another business-class ticket at no additional charge. (I didn't see anything about this on their website, only on our banked trip 'conditions' page. So, this is most likely exclusive to this trip purchased from us.) Must use Trip by December 12, 2013.
