First time to French Polynesia. Want to charter a crewed cat for 7-10 days and stay at a resort as well for 5. Next spring Mar 2009. Probably with the Moorings - We've had great luck with them in the BVI's. Will be traveling with the family and 2 other couples. Want to set up an itinerary and collect ideas of what are must see places.
