Tahiti

November 2022

Beginning of Trip

Goodnight LA, good morning Tahiti ✈️

Off to Tahiti to explore the islands in French Polynesian. An 11pm flight for 8 hours and we landed at 5am local time. I slept most of the way in Air Tahiti Nui’s Moana Premium Economy because it was so comfortable. We were warmly welcomed to the InterContinental Tahiti Resort at 5:45am with fresh pineapple juice and our rooms ready. Back to sleep for a little while then time to explore the beautiful resort and have an al fresco lunch.

Cocktails at the Intercontinental Tahiti while we wait for sunset. One of the most beautiful sunsets greeted me on this first night in Tahiti, no filter, just pure nature.

Next was dinner with the most delicious Poisson cru, the national dish of Tahiti. It is made with fresh, raw fish, crunchy raw vegetables, lime juice and coconut milk – it’s heavenly!

Off to Moorea next, then back here before we go to Tetiaroa.

Middle of Trip

The ferry brought us back here after 2 days in Moorea then we flew to Tetiaroa. When we returned from Tetiaroa after 2 nights, we spent some time exploring the island.

We had the most delicious French lunch at Le Soufflé!

End of Trip

Our last day was back here for some shopping at the International Marketplace and a day room at the Hilton Tahiti until after dinner.

The Hilton Tahiti was next to relax, have a nice dinner and regroup for the flight home. I’m sad to say goodbye, it was a beautiful time in French Polynesia.

Anguilla

November 2014

Regal Princess Cruise

Anguilla is only 3 miles wide and 16 miles long! It is part of the British West Indies and the northernmost of the Leeward Islands. It’s known for its beautiful beaches and proximity to St. Martin, only 6 miles away.

Stunning Shoal Bay!

I’m very happy, this is my kind of beach!

We took the ferry over to Anguilla, a beautiful but tiny island that is very close to St. Martin. Anguilla has one of the nicest beaches I have ever seen and the water is just as beautiful!

Uncle Ernie’s was a great place for lunch right on the beach.

Rick’s Cafe, Negril

September 2018

Always a fun place to visit. Rick’s Cafe is the place to watch cliff divers on the westernmost coast of Jamaica. It is also the place to watch the sunset with reggae music and a Red Stripe.

Too bad it was overcast and we missed the sunset but we still had a blast!
