I’m BAAAAAAaaaaack! And all tan from multi-island romps in French Polynesia, despite the waterproof, sweatproof SPF 100 (yes, they make those) sport sunblock I was using. It was a great 5-star luxury weeklong cruise. I would highly recommend Paul Gauguin Cruises for anyone interested in a tour of The Society Islands (Tahiti, Taha’a, Raiatea, Bora Bora, Moorea). You get a very cool sampling of all the islands, free food/drink/board/transportation, which is a great big deal cuz our ONE free day in Tahiti was EXPENSIVE. Photos and stuff forthcoming!

On Motu Mahana, the cruiseline’s private island off Taha’a.
