We are back (unfortunately). I took a bunch of pics, but didn't get around to uploading them yesterday. I'll try to get to that soon. All in all we had a great trip. It was very relaxing even with the 80 or so other lawyers staying at the resort (scary thought eh?).

To tide you over until I post some picks, I'll make a list of a few ways Moorea is different from here:
1. Mixed drinks cost about $11-15 (yes per drink!). Luckily the beers were really about the same price. We drank a lot of beer. No comments please about leading off with the alcohol issues.
2. Chicken in the airport (and on the runway). Actually, there are chickens and roosters (and all sorts of other birds) just about everywhere (which I liked). There were some houses near our bungalow and the occupants owned a couple of roosters. Clearly the old story about roosters crowing when the sun comes up is a bunch of crap. They crowed pretty much all the time.
3. Bungalows on stilts over the beautifully clear lagoon. Nuf' said.
4. Sting rays and eels in the lagoon under the bungalow. Yes, we still snorkeled, just kept our eyes open. There were lots of other pretty and less scary fish too.
5. Every possible American song converted into a Tahitian one, complete with ukelele and what sounded like an accordian. These included songs by: the Beatles, Linda Ronstadt, Kenny Rogers, and, best of all, Boy George. It was pretty frightening to hear Kharma Chameleon follwed by Blue Bayou, sung by the same person.

I'm sure there's more, but frankly, it's just depressing thinking about it right now. . .
