So you can imagine my shock last year when we left the Paul Gauguin and I was sobbing like a toddler who didn’t get candy at the check-out counter. At the time, I attributed this sentimental breakdown as too much Sauvignon Blanc at the farewell lunch. I quietly hid behind my Jackie-O shades blubbering, while…

tahiti in pictures- part 1.
I haven’t yet composed my thoughts. Where do you even begin to tell about such an incredible trip? They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I guess I’ll start with that… Here are some more images from Bora Bora, Fakarava, Rangiroa and Huahine. I’ll post part 2 on Monday with our pictures…

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. And when in Bora Bora, do as the Polynesians do. Patrick’s tour in Bora Bora is not to be missed. When we went to the islands in 2006, I lusted after the thought of a private tour through the crystal clear lagoons of French Polynesia. Authentic outrigger…
10 on tuesday– bora bora edition.
It’s the second edition of 10 on Tuesday, and hopefully you’ll like this one as much as you liked the first. Bora Bora. It’s my heaven. In fact, when describing it to people I often say, “I hope my heaven looks like that.” Yes, it’s a long way from home and yes, it’s expensive. But seriously,…
