Remember the song Don't Worry Be Happy












The Economy certainly is in a mess.
What - have - those executive chaps been doing over their long lunches, cigars and brandy?
Clearly not counting the $12 billion going out each month in an easterly direction, or the billions more dollars in several other badly thought-out money draining directions.

Why should those who long for a break suffer - Not much we can do about it, I hear you say
But you can do something, you can manage your own spending, you can manage your own Joy.
Krishnan the elephant doesn't care so long as he gets his bananas, you don’t have to be in the executive chaps mess either. You too, even with all that's going on, can get what we all talk about having:- Simple Fun, Good Food, Wine and Happiness.
We are told things could get worse. For you things could get an 'elephant' lot better.
Don’t give in to the down, down, dooby blues - take life in both hands - go for it.
I lost - everything - in the last big 80/90's USA generated crash, but I’m up again, not rich, but happy - and trust me I’m no spring chicken
Let’s face it, all of you reading this and I who am writing it, are in better shape than the millions out there in the wilderness really having a hard time, so NO feeling sorry for ourselves.
Definitely the mistakes made over those brandy's and cigars are giving some folks at the top serious indigestion - and so it should.
Enough - let’s have that change - starting with ourselves.
Life - can still be great, life can still be fun, healthy and happy if we simply P.M.A. it (Positive Mental Attitude it)
To get things rolling I have already discounted the prices at Lagoona Davina by 40% until the end of October.
And bearing in mind that you out there need a bit of distraction, need to get back to nature and simple pleasures, I have decided to discount the room rates for November too, by more than the published 10% - to 20% less than last year.
(If you have already booked with deposit I’ll discount it again when you get here)
So get onto the internet, grab a cheap flight and get your act over here.
Its lovely, its natural and peaceful, wonderful food a lot cheaper than home. Although we do give you the newspapers, you don’t have to read them.
You will return home happy, brown and beautiful - ready to face the madness of the world we live in these days.

By the way - Can you live with a magical 180 degree view of nature at its loveliest. Can you live in a room hand painted in the colours of India with the animals of India painted on your bathroom wall. Can you live with well water that is completely pure but comes out a little brown in colour at times. Will you notice energy saving bulbs, occasional power cuts, thatched roofs, no air conditioning (lots of fans) a pool that is not very large BUT you swim looking over the lagoon and the Arabian Sea - in your little slice of paradise. Will you allow us to pamper you with delicious 'fresh each day' south Indian food, adapted by Davina to reduce the fat, salt, and high levels of chili, baskets of exotic fruit, banana bread and croissant, serve you fresh eggs laid by our own ducks and chickens. Can you handle delicious desserts and home made sugar free ice creams that make you dream. Could you allow ayurvedic masseurs to caress you to total relaxation, our yoga masters to bring back youth and unstressed muscles, mediation to find your centre, the centre where your mind dances with joy. IF you can manage all this and more - then send an email, hop on a plane, Lagoona Davina's car will meet you.
IF on the other hand you cannot handle all of the above, let me know, I'll book you into a five star energy guzzling hotel. However you might be very lonely without my charming staff and sweet animals.
Scottie cat, Indigo dog, the ducks and chickens And of course the roosters and drakes who keep them happy, along with Angelina baby tortoise who reads the Hindu Newspaper to give you the weather.
