My open heart surgery has been successful, it is now 10 days since the operation at St George Private Hospital and now recovering at my Sister Elizabeth's house at Caringbah NSW) in perfect weather conditions. I will remain here until next Thu at which time, Elizabeth and I will fly to Cairns for a further 2 weeks rest and hopefully early in June return to Madang and resume work. So many people have sent emails, cards and I am very much aware that my staff and friends in PNG have been praying for my full recovery - your prayers have been answered - Thank you! Tomorrow Joan Taureka flies to Madang to take up her position as Manager of the Madang Resort. Joan was born in Madang, but since lived in Australia and a number of other countries bringing up her family, she has also gained experience in the hospitality industry including a degree in Hospitality and most recently an MBA. We congratulate Joan on her MBA and look forward to working with her in Madang. Our new Dive Instructor/Manager, Pedro has spent 2 weeks familiarizing himself with the dive operation of our subsidiary Niugini Diving Adventures (NDA) based at the Madang Resort and the final part for one of our dive vessels arrived today in readiness for the arrival of the SPUMS group that will begin arriving over the next week. I am advised that there are 60 divers plus approximately 10 non divers attending the SPUMS conference and it is the secoind time that SPUMS have chosen to use the Madang Resort as their venue for their important conference. The new poolside rooms are expected to be opened this week, the Haus Win estaurant is nearing completion and it is possible that we may use it next week during the SPUM Conference even though it may not be fully complete. There are some changes ot be made at the Kalibobo Haus Kibung once the Haus Win is re-opened and the entire project we hope will be complete by Jun 1, 2012. At Kalibobo Village we have begin construction of a new style of accommodation consisting of two 3 bedroom dupliex residences, each of the 6 bedrooms having their own bathroom and balcony which enables them to be sold as 6 executive rooms, or 2 VIP residences. This is the first of 3 more duplex residences which will meet both the short and longer term accommodation market. Again, thank you for all those people who have wished me well following my heart operation, best wishes to delegates of SPUMS and I look forward to returning to Madang in early June.
