Yesterday a luxury yacht was in Papeete Harbor named "Triton Bikini" with a "Eurocopter" helicopter on it. I will post some picture soon. Who is it? Well I heard that Mel Gibson have a Triton Delta boat similar to the one I've seen but I don't think it's him. So I think it's one one of Top 500 fortune as April 1st (will arrive at 7.00 local) and living April 9, the "Tatoosh" witch also have a helicopter on top of the luxury yacht will be in Tahiti. The Tatoosh belongs to Microsoft Founder Paul Allen. (see picture of the Tatoosh taken when he last came in Tahiti - Photo Copyright TahitiBlog.com). So who is the mistery owner of the "Triton Bikini"? Also reported 2 private jets arrived last night at the Airport. I suppose that Paul Allen and the owner of the Triton have a meeting and they both love diving as both yachts have the latest hi-tech diving equipment available in the world. So finaly if you come to Tahiti for vacation, sure it's top 500 fortune prefered destination!

The name of the hotel will be "The Brando Hotel" witch has been trademarked by the Executors of the Marlon Brando Estate : LarryDressler, Mike Medavoy and Avra Douglas will be open in 2008. All of the bungalows will be built over land to protect the environment (eco-resort), which means there will be no over-the-water bungalows. Also as the Brando Hotel targets rich travellers, all access to the island will be close to general public (no more boats), the runaway will soon be restored. Bailey's resorts employ a fulltime marine biologist and veterinarian, Dr. Cecile Gaspar, who has carried out extensive studies on Tetiaroa to ensure that such a project will not disturb the flora and fauna of this extraordinary ecosystem, which includes sea-turtle hatching grounds and the designated seabird sanctuary on Motu Tahuna Iti that provides a home to thousands of rare indigenous seabirds.
