Another Year, Another Adventure


Leaving Bora Bora Christmas Eve 2013

Bora Bora! Whenever I tell someone I just went there, I have to laugh, because it just seems too crazy, too wild, too...? What? You went to Bora Bora? By yourself? For two weeks? That's crazy! And it was. I didn't plan it for months in advance. I planned it one week before leaving, a weird spontaneous decision, an I-have-to-get-out-of-town decision, a push-the-button-on- Expedia.com-before-you-change-your-mind decision. And there I was, December, leaving Seattle to LA, LA to Tahiti, Tahiti to Bora Bora. 19 hours and a very bumpy flight. From freezing in Seattle to I've-got-to-get-these-socks-off-before-I-suffocate-in-the-heat Tahiti airport. 

I love that I did it. It was beautiful, hot, relaxing, sometimes lonely and dream-like, but well worth every penny I spent.
