Trip of a lifetime | Wairarapa News | Local News in Wairarapa

A relaxed and well-tanned Karina Rosemergy returned from her Fiji holiday this week dreaming about how she can get back to the Mana Island resort, soon.

The Masterton caregiver was one of four winners of the Wairarapa Times-Age's holiday in Fiji contest.

Ms Rosemergy took her friend Amanda Clifton and the two had seven blissful days swimming, sunbathing snorkelling and chilling out on Fiji time.

The holiday couldn't have been better timed. Ms Rosemergy had been talking about a South Pacific holiday a month before the newspaper ran the contest. "Thank you everyone at the Times-Age, it was a great holiday," she said.

Times-Age circulation manager Kelly Payne said the contest had been such a success there were plans to run another holiday contest in the future. "We had thousands of entries," she said.
