I have wanted to come to Bora Bora since I first heard about it in my 20's and when I swore it was calling my name in my 30's!! It did not disappoint, one of the most gorgeous lagoons I have seen to date.
Below is a 360 degree video a couple of our adventurous hikers filmed after they climbed atop the volcano. Kona Jim is a tad out of breath after that trek but the view in all directions is so stunning I had to share.
We explored the island and surrounding lagoon by land on a 4 x 4 quad in the morning and by afternoon over sea via a jet ski! Bosco drove both vehicles and had a blast and I hung on for dear life and tried to film it whiz by! Highlights below with last video showing locals who like to ride our tenders wake every time we head back to ship - cool past time!

Little India is a neighborhood in Singapore that I wanted to explore becase I love Indian food and their Temple's have such unique gods and Architecture, super colorful and detailed. Below is the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, Singapore's first temple dedicated to Veeramakaliammam or the Kali , a fierce incarnation of Shiva's wife and the "Destroyer of Evil" .
Other residents had a great experience at Singapore's Food Playground on prior visits, so we wanted to try it out! Our first day in Port, twelve of us signed up for a fun afternoon, where we got to enjoy our creations as a yummy lunch. Front row (L to R) is Ellie, Rick, their visiting friend, Sue, Christy and Angela. Back Row - Me, Bosco, Delia, John, Terri & Lori.
We just relaxed on the Island of Koh Chang, Thailand. It's one of the largest Thai Islands in the Gulf of Thailand and it has a dense, steep jungle & National Park covering the interior of the Island, which extends off shore, to coral reefs. The coast line is dotted with beaches and villages. This was a tender port, so we decided to stay on the Island for 3 nights, to be able to experience the nightlife. Turns out, it is low season, so nightlife was pretty sleepy. However, we did find a new favorite night time activity! Any Guesses?!?
