Ned, Daydream Island is very family orientated and has childminding, as well as plenty of things for the parents to do. I'm sure you would enjoy a very relaxing holiday there. Here is a URL to check out some of the details. http://www.queensland-holidays.com.a...09003/main.htm <BR>Peg.

Go to one of the Hawaiian islands. It is not wise to take very young children to the S. Pacific islands b/c of the risk of tropical diseases and inferior sanitation and medical facilities.

Noach, Daydream Island is part of Oz, just 30 minutes from the Queensland coast. Much better than a 10hour plane trip to Hawaii.

Hi Ned, <BR> <BR>I agree with Peg that Daydream Island is the best family oriented Whitsunday Island resort. It is owned and run by P&O. <BR> <BR>My only concern with Daydream Island at the moment is that it closed for a major refurbishment of the resort on the 9 SEPT 2000 and as yet they have not posted a re-opening date. Check their website periodically to see when they are going to re-open, it is: <BR> <BR>http://www.daydream.net.au/ <BR> <BR>Otherwise South Molle Island is also a good resort. <BR> <BR>Cheers <BR> <BR>

When I posted my reply, I did notice the .au address and did think of the long-flight from Aus. to Hawai`i being a problem. <BR> <BR>I had thought that Ned was asking about one of the S. Pacific islands, such as Fiji, Tahiti, Guam, Micronesia, etc. and so replied as I did. <BR> <BR>I was not at all familiar w/ Daydream island but having gone to the website, I certainly agree that it seems like it would be a much more practical and sensible choice than HI. <BR>

Fiji!!! Go to Castaway island off Coast @ Nadi. Stay @ Sheraton Fiji then go to Island. They have Baby sitters for almost nothing. Great Island , go to Honeymoon Island for great snorkling. Have a good trip. Frank

Fiji is maybe not a good place at the moment given the current political developments? What about Numea (sp)?
