I see this thread has gone a bit quiet last few months. Some good info here though, so thanks all.
I'm thinking of Fiji as a possible option. What I would be ideal for me however is to bring my wife there, and not always commute back on the days off. Stay and enjoy the area as Aloha suggests in his post above.
I was under the impression on the commuting contract this wasn't possible, as I'm essentially mixing the best of the commuting contract and the direct hire contract. Is that right?
Can you take the missus with you on the commuting contract. Can you stay on the off block?
Just some quick background. I'm a skipper so upgrade is not an issue. I've been expat for 17 odd years and this would be a means to get back closer to home.
Cheers to anybody that offers some insight
