Thanks chongl... I'd really love to go to Bora Bora. It's on the other side of the world though so I might have to wait a while.

Thanks pango9102... You definitely won't regret it, and the Conrad looks great. I'm sure you'll visit their signature underwater restaurant.

Thanks nequine, it was a fantastic experience. I was a bit wary of such a small plane but it seemed less bumpy than the bigger ones.

Thanks standch, well it was the final straw for me when I was deciding if these were surfers or pilots. But to be fair, they were the friendliest guys and very skilled.

Looking forward to hearing about your resort.

Thanks farbster, I'm glad your daughter got to experience that. I think it's something everyone should try if they have the means.
