The castaways have been saved! However, three have decided to work together with investors create a resort on this tropical paradise.

Gilligan, MaryAnn, and Ginger will live together in a beach front office. Each castaway is budgeted $5000 to design their own room-office.

All items must be purchased from Internet Suppliers. Finally, these items must be purchased within 3 days instead of the 3 hour cruise when they shipwrecked.

**GOOD LUCK**
