Leader turns 50/family visits SunXi Resort

Recently the Sun Xi management's family from England visited the Sun Xi Resort. The posse consisted of Michael Meadows (Nigel's cousin) and wife Vanessa. Thelma and John Ford (Nigel's parents/ Tim's grandparents) David Young, a close friend of Nigel's for many a year. Natasha Ford (Nigel's daughter/Tim's sister)

The past week at the resort , saw much laughter in many various activities. Events from Dolphin watching, to hitting golf balls off our garden. Motorbike cruises and swimming in the gorgeous sea.

Michael celebrated his birthday with us on the 4th of April, where we had a quiet one around the resort. We were fortunate enough to have the weather on our side, so most of us were quite happy to get some tanning in. During the evening, we ventured into Moalboal (two municipals away) for drinks and a seafood dinner.

The highlight of the trip, and I suppose one of the main purposes for the visit from our overseas loved ones, was to celebrate our dear Nigel's half century. Lani and the staff worked a sleepless two days to put on an event that will be remembered. a twenty-four hour epic mini-festival is the best way I can describe it.

It kicked off at 3.30am when we were awoken to the local parish choir, singing beautiful birthday wishes in our lobby area. When Nigel and Michael finally stirred from their rooms and down the stairs, they were each given a garland of fresh flowers, from the choir who stood with candles in hand. A very moving experience.

During the afternoon, friends and near-by officials came up to the resort for a delicious buffet luncheon prepared by the Resort's kitchen.

Finally the day was capped off by a disco taking place at the entrance of the resort, where all had a good time dancing (or attempting to!) for many an hour.

All in all, a very enjoyable week at the Sun Xi Resort, which saw the staff tested, and our guests once again leaving happy with their stay!
