Bora Bora
Decided to get away from it all in Bora Bora. Took Air Tahiti Nui instead of United because their flight times were way better on the way in, and why not spend the whole day in Bora Bora instead of a night at one of the far less pleasant hotels by the airport?
Day 1: late night at Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) at LAX before a nearly midnight departure.
Day 2: early morning arrival in Tahiti and then a quick hop to Raiatea on the way to Bora Bora.
Day 3: soaking in the sun plus dinner at Lagoon by Jean Georges.
Day 4: Polynesian night at the St. Regis Bora Bora.
Day 5: sun and rain lead to rainbows and beautiful skies.
Day 6: beach morning and the discovery that room service is the best meal here.
Day 7: the pain of heading home is eased by one last beautiful sunset.
