Great Travel Moment

This photo was taken at the new St Regis Hotel in Bora Bora. This trip was to celebrate our 10th Anniversary. We had originally had been there for our honeymoon and had tried twice before to get back down their by cruise ship. The first time, after the events of 911, our ship went bankrupt. The second time, the same ship we were on for our honeymoon, caught fire 2 weeks prior to our departure and sank. We thought we were not meant to go back. We finally made it back in December 2006 and arrived at the tail end of a monsoon. We had puddles of rain up over our ankles, but this is a picture of the second day after we arrived and it was so beautiful the entire week.
