The trip and transfers went well. I did not think through my allergy meds, however. typically, I start them in the Spring and carry them to Fall. On your advice column, you might want to advise people that if it is spring where you originate from, you are going into late Summer when you cross the equator. About 3 days before we left, I had the classic allergy symptoms that morphed into an inner ear infection, sinus headache, with yellow goo coming from my tearducts in the eyes...the trip home was considerably less pleasant of course. Since we leave so late at night from Tahiti on the way home, I think next time we will stay over night in LA, and continue our flight the next day to home. Everything was beautiful, caught a wahoo, but no marlin fishing. Snorkeling was fabulous-saw three different types of rays (all friendly and would visit you, presumably looking for food), hundreds of fish, and two black tipped sharks (very skittish and they took off for deeper water quickly). This was all from our overwater bungalow. The meals in the French restaurent were excellent, but only so-so in the Polynesian restaurant (mosting preparation issues-overcooked chicken and fish). French pastries were outstanding and fattening...Breakfast buffet was very good and lots to select from. Most people, when they order simply water, do not expect bottled water (which is then added as an additional cost to your meals). One has to ask for "iced water" to get regular water put into a glass, and then no charge is incurred on your bill. Spa facilities were great, and rewarding after our trip there.
We spent a week at The Four Season's in August and loved it! Theresa did a wonderful job of getting us last minute reservations for the resort view rooms and when we got there we were upgraded to a mountain view. She had told them about our anniversary celebration so there was also champagne and a chocolate cake and fruit in the room. The resort is absolutely stunning! The over the water bungalows are just beautiful! The water is amazing! The staff was wonderful but the food is very pricey so be prepared! We brought wine and snacks with us and it saved us a ton of money! On the way back she booked us a circle tour which was very nice and helped bridge the gap between flights. Theresa covered every detail of our trip and I would highly recommend using her for all of your island travels!

Hi Theresa, Got back from paradise last week, just wanted to thank you for helping us plan our honeymoon. Moorea was beautiful, and Bora Bora was just beyond words. The Four Seasons was absolutely top notch.We also were fortunate with excellent weather. I thought I would send a picture from Bora Bora along to put some faces to the names. Thanks again!
