HEAD TO THE SUN
EXECUTIVE GENERAL MANAGER – SIMON MCKEARNEY

Summer! Did you happen to miss it this year? The weather wasn’t the best was it, so what better
excuse do you need than to head overseas for a much-needed dose of sun and relaxation? We
don’t realise how lucky we are to have so many “sun” options right on our doorstep with the
South Pacific islands a short flight away and Hawaiian hospitality and the French charm of Tahiti
just a bit further afield – an absolute personal favorite of mine!
And how about a novel way of cruising Tahiti - on a working freighter that also doubles as
a cruise ship. A really different way to explore the outer islands of Tahiti. If cruising is your
desire you also need to see river cruising in Europe down the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers. A
wonderful holiday adventure.
And don’t forget to book your travel insurance through your helloworld agent before heading
overseas – you don’t want any extra expenses on your credit card while you’re away.
Happy travelling and head to some well-deserved sunshine before winter sets in!

A DREAM – IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE

EDITOR – TRACEY MEHRTENS
A relaxing flight is the best way to start a holiday and flying Business Premier on board
the Air New Zealand 787-9 Dreamliner to Hawai’i recently was a dream. Not only the
service, cuisine and movies but also being able to stretch out flat for a comfy, dreamy
sleep on the overnight flight. There’s nothing worse than landing sleep-deprived and
spending the first day of your long-awaited holiday wandering around in a haze; if you
can sleep on the flight you’re ready to go as soon as you touch down.
There are lots of exciting holiday options in this issue including Honolulu for some sun,
shopping and touring – and don’t forget to call in at one of the tasty shrimp shacks as
you head around Oahu). Fiji is one of New Zealanders’ favourite destinations and in this
issue helloworld agent Anne-Marie Ryan explores the untouched islands of Matangi,
Qamea, Taveuni and Vanua Levu in Fiji’s North.
With autumn on our doorstep it’s the perfect time to plan a holiday in the sun, whether
it’s Rarotonga, Club Med Bintan Island, Vanuatu or Samoa. In this issue you can read
about where to stay, dine and sightsee in all of these destinations, and more. Happy
holiday planning!
