Just spoke to my mother and she said this man had never married or had any children. I guess he was a hardened sailor. She also said we had stayed at that resort once and enjoyed it. I don't really remember as I was about 10 then. In the tropics for five years and one beach is just like the next!! I would imagine though they we had had met your Dad at some stage!!

Yep, Raro from Rarotonga and it was delicious. You could try a Golden Circle one in a can - I think that would be the nearest.

Gosh, would you be allowed to bring all that in these days! customs are pretty tough now! if you watch the border control programme its amazing how much drug making ingrediants is sent over, I hope the recipiants are being prosecuted!

All went through customs, even way back then.
