To French Polynesia!
Had 3 Sea Days!
It's not all eating at posh restaurants. Well, maybe it is.
We were allowed 2 bottles of wine when we boarded. These were delicious.
Sunsets on the water
We didn't participate in the art sales/auctions, but some was pretty.

Tahiti has a rule, buildings no taller than the palm trees. The Edge was WAY bigger than any building!
Evening entertainment on the ship
Moorea Island
April 30, Arrived in Bay, Moorea. Tendered in to the very small port at Bay of Opunohu. 10am-4pm
On the spot booked a boat "Albert Tours" to a "swim with the stingrays" and BBQ island. Pretty cheap.
The Island party location. Tables (some in the water), a band, food and "iffy" fruit juice.
The ever-present doggies are quite the opportunists, but polite!
Lareena Swam with the Stingrays and Black Tip Sharks! She totally didn't drown or get eaten!
Tahiti marks the 2nd to last country that both of us have been to. The only one left where I've been and Lareena hasn't is Bermuda!
Headed (back) to Honolulu, Hawaii!
