Left for Bora Bora (French Polynesia) during their rainy season, it was the only way the pocketbook would allow this trip to happen. I'm not sure what time Bora Bora's rainy season is but was there end of Jan. first part of Feb.
To help with jet lag, after traveling from LAX to Tahiti, we spend 2 nights at the Intercontinental Resort. The staff was very friendly, since we were there during the "off" season there were not many other guests at the resort. The pool was nice but most of my time was spend snorkeling in the lagoon looking at all sorts of fish and sea life. Make sure you get a meal plan while traveling to FP as food is expensive, even if you just get breakfast included.
After our two days in Tahiti we boarded a puddle jumper and took the one hour flight to Bora Bora. Fresh pineapple juice was served during the flight. The airport in Bora Bora is on a north motu(island) and you take a boat from the airport to your resort.
It was about a 15 min boat ride to the Intercontinental La Moana. We were greeted by very friendly crew and given cold towels and even colder drinks to cool us down from the humid weather.
After having a quick tour of the resort we were escorted to our Over the Water Bungalow (owb). Ours had a small office space, living area with sliding glass coffee table so you could feed the fish under the owb, california king sized bed, large bathroom and private sun deck.
more to come later...
