Our jouney begins....

We flew from Hong Kong to Auckland, New Zealand leaving March 22 at 3PM. We arrived here in BoraBora March 23 at 7am.
It seems like a quick journey but we managed to squish in an 11 hour flight to get to Auckland, a 12 hour delay in Auckland (broken plane), a 5 hour flight to Papette Tahiti, a 5 hour sleep in the airport on the floor, a 1 hour flight into Bora Bora, and finally a 20 minute private boat from the airport to our hotel. Time change can be a killer, especially for Suds who had arrived from London mere hours before we ran out the door to start the trip!
It is way easier for Vancouverites to get Bora Bora (if only we had known that!) just a 2 hour flight to LA then 8 hours direct to Papeete!!! Keep it in mind cause this place is awesome!!!! Paradise on earth. We were pinching ourselves for days, but I am quite sure it is real!!!!!

This first pic is on the Air Tahiti Nui flight. The flight kept getting delayed, which was SO annoying! If we had known from the start we had so much time, we would have headed into the city. Instead we just sat on our asses doing Sudoku puzzels, a new obsession that everyone else seems to have. While waiting in the airport we were surrounded by "sudoko'ers". There was a whole shelf dedicated to it in the airport bookstore. A worldwide craze, I guess.

We finally got into Tahiti at about 1am. Our next flight left at 6am.










The view from the plane from Tahiti to Bora Bora. Being the fab travel planner I am, I knew the best side was the left on the plane, so we had great views.








We are really on our way now!! Now on the Air Tahiti flight to Bora Bora. You can hardly tell that I spent the night sleeping on a cold concrete floor...and no cardboard (hahahaha Whitney)







We arrive at 7am.
