Tahiti Sunsets

In photography, this is called magic hour. The time the sun starts to set and turns every amateur photographer into a pro. The things I loved about Tahiti included wearing tank tops in the evening, water plenty warm for swimming, the magic hour photo opps, and the sushi. I also had an amazing time introducing Chloe to the joys of playing the sand, splashing around in the lagoons, and swimming in the Le Meridien fully sand-bottomed pool. Because Viv and Tania came, Mike and I got to go snorkelling together out in the lagoon! Beautiful, Beautiful.

Holiday in Tahiti

We had a great time in Tahiti. Mom and Tanya helped out with Chloe so much. Kim and I were able to have a dramatically different vacation with 'the moms' there than if we'd been responsible for baby Chloe the whole time. We all (me, Kim, Chloe, Mom and Tanya) had a great time. If you go to Tahiti, you may enjoy it just as much if you stay on Tahiti, rather than visit some of the more secluded islands. Just make sure whatever you do that you stay on a beach - there's surprisingly little beach on Moorea, for example. We didn't find that it was as totally expensive as we'd been warned. I enjoyed Pape'ete, myself, with it's markets, roulettes and discos.

Zoom in on Tahiti here. I was able to pinpoint the location of the hotels we stayed at on Tahiti (not Moorea) and I think I correctly labeled the market, too. Sweet. Here's the photo album
