Sunday, August 11, leaving DFW, 22:09 You know how the saying goes. What happens in Vegas stays on Vegas. Well, it is just no so with Tahiti. What happens there, you want to continue for a long time. The laid back lifestyle is just part of it. The French influences and people are another. Still …

The Smallest International Airport in the World, or at least it feels so
10 Aout 13, 19h31 Faa'a, Tahiti Nui Well, we are sitting in the airport. We have been here for a couple of hours, but that is to be expected. We turned in our rental car around 5:30pm local time, and our flight doesn't leave until 23:59. So, we have some time to spare. We took …

Mr. Appendicitis, Or So We Heard
Tahiti, 9 Aout 13 For most of our vacation, we were lucky enough to have a French couple on one side of us and no one on the other. We were able to enjoy our balcony in peace, in other words. That was until Mr. Appendicitis, aka Chatty Charlie, moved in next door. He is …
Our Last Real Full Day in Paradise, For Now
Vendredi, 9 Aout 13, Tahiti Today, we spent the day driving down back streets, along side rivers that flowed into the ocean, and going off the beaten path, in search of paradise. We found it. It is quite abundant on this isle in the middle of the South Pacific. It is everywhere here. We visited …

Good Morning Tahiti
Mercredi, 7 Aout, 2013, 8h20m I have a friend who once argued with another friend about the fact that no one could see her, from the street below, if she was standing up against the window from her ninth floor room, mostly without clothing, saying "Good Morning, New Orleans!" Well, she lost the bet, as …
A Wonderful Day in Moorea
8 Aout 13, 21h28, Tahiti, French Polynesia Wow. What a fantastic day we had in Moorea! We took the ferry across the ocean, even taking our rental car with us. The whole day cost us about $15.000 Pacific Frank's, including our lunch at this really nice roadside Canadian restaurant, where I had my first crepe …
Do the Fish Think French?
Tuesday, August 6, 2013, 9:24am, Tahiti, French Polynesia We have a nice room here in Tahiti that overlooks the ocean and the reef far out that causes the ocean surf to pound into waves that crash amongst the rocks. It is beautiful. It is paradise. We are also directly above a koi pond that has …
UNLIMITED Mileage
6:23pm, August 6, 2013, Tahiti It was a most-excellent day. We took advantage of our rental car's "unlimited mileage" and literally drove all the way around the island. Mind you, it is not that far, but when they mean unlimited mileage, it seems a bit silly when you're talking about an island smaller than your …
A Day With Nothing To Do
Sunday, August 4, 2013, 11:00, Tahiti, in the South Pacific I know to a lot of people a day with nothing to do would seem really boring, but it is exactly what we both needed. After so many months of hurry rush now, we are finally at peace. In a tropical paradise to boot. The …
A Walk In The Clouds, Or At Least Partially
Lundi, 5 Aout, 2013, 17h22m, Tahiti, French Polynesia Today,we set put from our hotel and walked about 5 miles toward town, in the rain. It wasn't rainy when we started, but it became so when we got about 3 miles into the excursion. Thankfully we had our trust green travel umbrella that I insist on …
