since Bob asked, a few pics from Tahiti and Bora Bora

Hard to argue with a fortune-cookie fortune:

From my hotel balcony on Tahiti pre-cruise:

Yep- the water really is clear as glass:

Little feathery showers like this were common, often not even making all the way down:
Image

Bora Bora... too many shades of vibrant greens and blues to count.

Moorea, just after sunrise:

I really missed you guys:

Looks beautiful. I'm not much of a beach person but believe I could make an exception for Tahiti.

Tahiti is nice, Bora Bora and Moorea are amazing... I enjoy "tropical" a lot, and French Polynesia really exemplifies it.

Plus there are roads there, so I might see Brick <thumb>
