2. My understanding is that it costs more money to upgrade to the Panoramic Overwater Bungalow at Bora Bora than I paid at Moorea (Lets pretend it is $30 extra per night for 7 nights) = $210
3. My understanding is that everything on a daily basis costs more money (Lets pretend it $50 a day for 7 days) = $350
All that adds up to about $1,500 and all of it (except for the flight) is partially made up
Thanks Cubswin! I see where your coming from now...i just did a quick search and it does seem like there is only one way to fly from Papeete to Bora Bora and the 45 min flight is insanely expensive. Looks like when I plan I may choose to go the Maldives route to try to get all the way there on miles. Good luck with your travels!
