Honeymoon Finale

So, I lied. I just had to share a few more pictures. One morning it rained for about 10 minutes and produced a double rainbow. "A Double Rainbow! What does that meean?" (apparently from YouTube). It just looked like it came straight out of the water and went over the whole island.

Here is a pic of our overwater bungalow deck.

And another view of the water. I'm ready to go back.

Sweet Sunrise

This is the last post I'll make of the honeymoon, but no one who sees God's creation at its finest should ever keep it a secret! One morning, we decided to go watch the sunrise (at 5:45 am!). It comes up over the top of the island next to ours so we went to the very top and camped out. It just happened to be a cloudy morning so it took the Sun a good 45 minutes to completely show its face. We waited and clearly it was worth it. What a breathtaking view!! Enjoy!!

Helmet Dive

We didn't do too many structured activities because they took so much of the day. One day we did a spa treatment and the one day we did the Helmet Dive! What a cool experience! They basically drop you down to the bottom of the ocean with a space helmet on. It is attached to an oxygen cable so you can breathe, and you just walk around and look at whatever fish happen to swim by! You go out in groups of eight and we just happened to get grouped with Cindy McCain (Sen. John McCain's wife) and their children/friends. They were so much fun! It turned out that Cindy knew Ed's dad so we all just got to talking and having a big time! I guess I'm one of the few that can say I walked around the ocean floor with the McCains! ;) Here we all are in the boat: And here we are posing for the underwater cam:

They send you down with a mesh bag of bread attached to your body so the fish just SWORM you until all the bread is gone. That was interesting!

And then, a sting ray just happened to be in the neighborhood and took front and center stage! Some of the others touched it, but I thought that was a little much.

It was truly a once in a lifetime experience that both of us will never forget!

Honeymoon Introduction

Ed and I just recently got back from our honeymoon trip to Bora Bora. It will take several posts to show you all the pictures and highlights that I want to so get ready!!! One, it takes FOREVER to get there, but clearly from the pictures, it's worth it! The pictures don't even do justice to how breathtaking it was in person. We had a blast! We stayed one night in Tahita, then two nights in a hilltop villa, which was a bungalo that overlooked the whole island and ocean. The view from there was amazing! Then, we stayed a few nights in an overwater bungalow that had glass floors, end tables, etc. where you could see straight down to the ocean. So cool! We really enjoyed laying out, swimming, relaxing, etc. and just actually getting to be in the same place together since we don't live in the same state! So this first picture is us laying out at the hotel (you can see the overwater bungalos in the background). This is another view from the resort.

The view from our hilltop villa room.

A pic of us checking in to the hotel. They seat you with passion fruit juice and a cold wash cloth while you wait!
