I think that Tahiti (Bora Bora et.al.) is safe from a terrorist perspective but the truth is that the government there has greatly downplayed this years outbreak of Dengue Fever. I understand that this strain of Dengue is one of the mildest (discribed as a very bad case of the flu) but nearly 30,000 people have been affected in French Polynesia! It is now supposedly "under control" but not the way I wish to spend my vacation.
