The Countdown Begins....!!!!!!

I can hardly contain my excitement...10 years ago I first learned of magical Bora Bora in French Polynesia when friends went there on their honeymoon! Their pictures are still etched in my brain! Now, in just 21 days, we will be on our way to paradise!!! After not getting any big vacations planned for 2009, we have been dying to go on another international adventure--especially with the brutal weather of late! We had planned to go to Australia in 2009 and so the logical choice would have been to continue with that plan, but then we threw New Zealand in the discussion mix...and then finally, after much discussion, decided that as much as we really, really want to see Australia and New Zealand, what we need right now is to GET AWAY FROM IT ALL!!!! Relax!!! Chill!!! Do nothing unless we want to! So...I tossed Tahiti in just to mix things up and tonight finally got flights booked...I hope to get hotels booked tomorrow--we will likely be splitting time between Bora Bora and Moorea after arriving in Tahiti--unless something else catches our eye and distracts from the decision making. Most importantly of all, I hope we will return with enough money left to pay the mortgage!! ;-)
