It's been on our Bucket List! And we are getting to do it now!

Enjoyed our last evening on the boat – a great dinner at Tuscon Steak with a bottle of wine that was also perfect. A nice ending after we had spent the late afternoon packing…You see, we had to be out of our room by 8am.  They gotta turn that room over for the next cruise… it’s a fine-tuned machine and it’s pretty organized!  Having learned from past cruises, we hired a driver to pick us up and take us to the airport.  That way, we aren't competing with the rest of the passengers trying to get to the airport!

We ended up at the airport by 9:15… our flight wasn’t till 1… better early than late.  Checked in and the attendant said she thought she could get us on an earlier flight.  We said sure… and within 10 minutes we were on a flight that was leaving in 10 minutes!  We were headed to BoraBora for a stay in a resort… a bucket list stay for us… in those over the water huts!  But first, we had to bounce around in the plane before we made it to our destination.  First time since I don’t know when, that the plane hit some turbulence and we dropped a couple feet; well, I don’t know if we did, but my tummy sure felt like we did.

Got to the hotel and sure enough, had to kill some time since our room wasn’t ready.  I would rather kill time at the resort than at the non-airconditioned airport.  No complaints came from our lips.  We went to the pool bar, order lunch after a bit, and then just laid around the pool till they brought us to our room.

As for our room… the pics tell it all!  We already went swimming off the ladder.  Pictures of Jerry show a look of shock… He got in, floated on his back and then remembered:  HIS HEARING AIDS!  He paddled on back, I took them in and lightly used the hair dryer to make sure they dried and, happy to report, they are working fine… Whew!!!

Sunset did not disappoint and our walk from our room to the restaurant was quite pleasant on the all the boardwalks and paths.  They have lots of golf carts for taking folks from point A to point B.  This place is spread out.  We’ve opted to walk as we can use all the exercise we can. 

Now… this part of the trip I don’t think you’ll find us doing too much of anything. We shall see… we have made no plans other than snorkeling and swimming.
