Dear Theresa,
We returned home yesterday morning from our dream trip to French Polynesia. Thank you so much for help in making my dream come true. Everything was wonderful and the pick up people met us on time and were most courteous. The hotels you chose must have been the best as the rooms were perfect. We did have an awful time with light switches. We must have turned all the switches on and off at the bungalow at Intercontinental 5 times and couldn't find the switch to turn the light off over the bed. We finally called the reception desk and they sent a man over who turned it right off! Boy, did we feel stupid! We laughed so hard afterwards and I was wondering if anyone there saw the lights going off and on. If so, they must have thought we were nuts...
The islands are beautiful and unspoiled. We took a tour of Moorea and did a lagoon trip and swam with the sting rays and black tip sharks. The man that ran the trip was so funny. The island(there by Intercontinental) we went to for the BBQ was so dreamy. I could have stayed there forever.
Le Taha'a's OWB was just as we had seen on tv, fabulous! We had wanted to snorkel in the Coral Gardens but it rained and fortunately our catamaran stopped there to snorkel so we didn't miss it after all. We also stopped at a vanilla plantation on Taha'a and the Spa at the Intercontinental and Bloody Mary's for dinner on Bora Bora. I was able to do 2 dives at Bora Bora too.
Before we boarded our catamaran on Raiatea we had a private tour of Raiatea which we booked through Le Taha'a. Expensive but the lady took us all around the island which lasted 6 hours.
When we flew back to Tahiti I wanted to tour the island but our energy seemed to disappear quickly so we missed touring the island. Maybe next time...
The only bad part of the trip was the long flights. Ugh! Monday our flight on AA was supposed to leave at 10:20 pm from LAX but got delayed until 12 M. We had arrived at 6:15 pm so it was a long wait again.
I just want to express my gratitude for arranging everything. You didn't forget anything!
Sincerely,
Maureen
