When a car looks this fast, it better live up to its appearance. The BMW i8 does just that, with help from its powerful, yet efficient TwinPower Turbo 3-cylinder combustion engine and its innovative electric motor. Together, these two engines work in tandem for uninterrupted acceleration from a standstill with a total system output of 420 lb-ft of torque and 357 horsepower Value: $150,500.

Dimensions: 6' x 15' "Ocean's Call" depicts a life-size newborn baby humpback whale painted with Webber's signature Eastern - Western fusion technique. The original oil painting is comprised of dozens of layers of pure powdered earth pigments including lapis, cobalt, mica, Egyptian Indigo, gold, pearl and marble dust. The final result is a painting that is fully light-interactive and translucent, alive and responding throughout the day as the natural light changes across the surface. "Ocean's Call" took more than a year to complete and included the artist traveling to the South Pacific to swim with the humpback whales and their babies as part of her research. The painting was conceived and created by the artist to help raise awareness and inspire action towards healing the planet's oceans. About Kimberly Webber: Kimberly Webber’s paintings are a fusion of Eastern and Western techniques, philosophy and spirituality. Webber works with traditional Chinese organic abstraction markings and was taught classic heavy color Chinese painting from the lineage of calligraphic master painter Lin Chein Shih. Webber’s studies also include Nihonga style painting which migrated from China to Japan in the 7th century AD along with Buddhism. Webber combines the Asian techniques with her classical oil painting training which included studies in Florence, Italy, New York City and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from Ohio Wesleyan University. Webber’s multi-dimensional paintings are created from traditional media including vine charcoal, pure powdered mineral pigments, Asian calligraphy ink, handmade oil formulas and rice paper. She has been painting since early childhood and throughout her life. Webber’s work has shown in solo exhibitions in New York City, California, Texas, Minnesota, Ohio, North Carolina, Florida, Europe and the Middle East. The work is currently represented by ACA Galleries in New York City, Exposures International Gallery, Sedona, Arizona and Untitled Fine Art in Taos, New Mexico. The quality of light and the open sky in New Mexico are a key source of inspiration for Webber’s work as is the sacred land. The work revolves around the liminal space of dreams, deep memory and the archetypes. Each painting is designed to uplift, activate and empower the viewer, humanity and the planet.

They go out of their way to make your stay unforgettable.” Melhj "I have been many times to Maldives, but Gili Lankanfushi was without any doubt the best hotel!

Six Nights at the Magnificent Private Villa Estate
Villa Verai in Cape Yamu, Phuket
Along with this amazing trip, the winner will receive a stunning pair of
18k White Gold and diamond earrings with 4ct of Princess cut diamonds (Retail value: $9,900.000)
!
This exotic Thailand vacation is set at a private villa estate in the exclusive Cape Yamu. Villa Verai has 49,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor living space including 6 en-suite bedrooms, gym with a bay view, state of the art movie theater, 130-foot infinity-edge swimming pool and a white sand beach. This package includes six (6) nights for ten (10) guest at Villa Verai, a light welcome meal, Thai chef for three (3) days, English-speaking Concierge and 2 on-site housekeepers. The off-site Property Manager has extensive local knowledge and will assist you with scheduling activities, booking transportation including drivers or rental cards, a local masseuse, excursions and dinner reservations prior to your arrival. About Cape Yamu: Cape Yamu on Phuket’s east coast just north of Phuket Town was once an undiscovered area known only to the locals who fished or worked in the plantations. This all changed in the early 2000s when some international high-fliers, including renowned designer Philippe Starck and architect Jean-Michel Gathy of Aman resorts fame, discovered its pristine beauty and set about to transform it into a luxury enclave. Now, amidst the greenery and the groves, sit some of Phuket’s most prestigious villas and condominium estates. Cape Yamu enjoys close access to the yacht cruising and island-hopping wonders of Phang Nga Bay with three marinas and two piers. Some islands off the east coast, including Koh Naka Yai and Rang Yai, both with beautiful sandy beaches, can be reached within a 15-minute boat trip. Mission Hills golf club is nearby. The serene Bang Pae waterfall and the Gibbon Rehabilitation Centre within the Khao Phra Thaeo National Park nearby offer an inland attraction for families seeking an alternative to beach excursions, while Thalang Museum gives a modest yet insightful look into Phuket’s culture and past. Restrictions:- Airfare, gratuity, transportation, airport transfers, local activities, food and beverages not included

Featuring 53 cabins, the gracious and intimate National Geographic Orion takes travelers to little-known waters and isles in the South Pacific, Australia, and Indonesia to experience each location's natural and cultural wonders up close. With her high ice-class rating, National Geographic Orion is strong enough to explore the polar regions, yet her elevated maneuverability allows for navigation of inshore waters, secluded bays, and sinuous rivers—practically anywhere accessible by sea. At the helm of National Geographic Orion is an expert crew, capable of handling intricate operations that large cruise ships could never attempt. The ship features modern navigational equipment and technological abilities that allow her to navigate safely, even in uncharted waters. She currently holds the distinction of having sailed further south than any other vessel in the Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic fleet. National Geographic Orion offers guests a spirited, almost clubby environment onboard. Of her many amenities and features, the most appealing is her outdoor deck space, which beckons in the balmy reaches of the South Pacific and beyond and offers a range of panoramic views of the region’s rich avian and marine life.Explore lost civilizations amid paradisiacal, seldom-seen isles
Sailing in the wake of early Polynesian navigators, this Tahiti expedition strikes to the farthest reaches of Oceania. From remote and enigmatic Easter Island to the historically significant Pitcairn Islands through the “low islands” of the Tuamotu Archipelago to Tahiti, you’ll visit islands that are virtually inaccessible and untouched. The voyage begins in one of the most isolated landfalls of Polynesia: Easter Island. See the legendary moai statues up close and hear the leading theories on what happened to the people who created them from top experts. Walk the length of untouched tropical beaches, meet the descendants of H.M.S. Bounty mutineers, and drift dive or snorkel through an atoll pass. DAY 1: U.S. / Papeete, French Polynesia Depart in the late afternoon for Tahiti and arrive late in the evening on the same day. Check into a hotel room and spend the evening at your leisure. DAY 2: Papeete / Embark This morning enjoy breakfast at your leisure and spend some time exploring the resort while adjusting to island time. Meet your fellow travelers for lunch and then join us for a tour of Tahiti before embarking the ship in the late afternoon. DAY 3: Makatea An uplifted coral atoll, the island of Makatea is one of the most unique landforms in the Pacific. Spend the day exploring limestone caves and grottos with your expedition team and local guides, or search for endemic fruit doves and myriad seabirds, then snorkel among colorful fish on the nearby reef. DAY 4-8: At Sea / Tuamotu Archipelago Today we begin our exploration of the “Dangerous Archipelago,” in Fakarava, one of the largest atolls in French Polynesia and part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Explore the protected reefs or ride the current into the lagoon on a world-famous drift snorkel. From here, your Captain and Expedition Leader will determine our next spot for exploration. In true expedition mode, we will visit some of the Tuamotus’ most remote islands, taking the opportunity to explore them by land and by sea. Navigate reefs and islets as we make our way east and explore one of French Polynesia’s many uninhabited atolls such as Tahanea. DAY 9: Mangareva Spend a day at sea scanning the horizon with our naturalists or relaxing on deck with a good book. We then arrive at Mangareva, the largest of the Gambier Islands, with its interesting history and beautiful lagoon. Venture underwater to snorkel, meet islanders to learn about their culture and the missionaries who made their home here, or go on a hike with our naturalists. DAY 10-13: Pitcairn Islands / At Sea We begin our exploration at the famed Pitcairn Island. Many of the mutineers of the legendary H.M.S. Bounty made their home here in the late 18th century, and about 50 of their descendants still live here today. Meet the residents and hear a few words of the unusual Pitkern dialect—a combination of English “sailor speak” and Polynesian phrases. Visit the gravesite of the last surviving Bounty mutineer, John Adams, and see the Bounty’s anchor, which was salvaged in 1957. We continue to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Henderson Island, an uplifted atoll that is uninhabited and virtually untouched by humans. Discover the island’s four endemic bird species, rich flora and fauna, and fascinating geology. At Ducie Atoll, spend time spotting frigatebirds and boobies or snorkeling among spectacular reefs. Diving is available for guests on the National Geographic Orion. DAY 14-15: At Sea As we voyage east toward Easter Island, head up to the Bridge to watch for wildlife and observe expert navigation at work as our skilled Captain and officers sail these historic waters. There’ll also be time to enjoy a massage in the wellness center, workout in the gym, and browse in the library. Each day our naturalists offer talks that add depth to your experience. DAY 16-19: Easter Island, Chile / Disembark / Santiago / U.S. Arrive at Easter Island where you will check into the Hangaroa Eco Village & Spa (or similar) for two nights. Explore volcanic calderas, jagged lava fields, and sweeping grasslands to discover the colossal moai statues, the astonishing legacy of a long-lost culture. Join archaeologists to examine these statues and discuss their meaning and creation; visit burial sites, quarries, and intricately carved ceremonial altars. Join our charter flight to Santiago, Chile for immediate connection to your overnight international flight home.
