Hot day, we went ashore and shopped around a lot. We arrived at the bookstore and on display were the 2 UK editions of Harry Potter selling for an excess of 5800 francs which is roughly equivalent to $58 and my parents wouldn't get it for me. Grrr... Anyways we bought stuff,... cheap stuff like Tahiti souveniers. Back on the boat Mom and I played ( Read more... )

I determined that I needed to get a picture of Zac, so I hit up the morning trivia to see if he was doing it, unfortunately Amy was there (DJ). So we went off on our snorkeling excursion. First stop: stingrays and sharks. The usual swim and pet the sting rays. A little further from them where the boat was anchored, swam a group of sharks, roughly ( Read more... )

Went off the ship in the morning. Took a car to Novatel, a hotel where the public could use all their facilities. I saw a boat for parasailing, and I was like, I want to go!! So we asked how much it cost, and they only took cash, so we went into the hotel, who decided after much debate that we could use our credit card to pay. IT WAS SO SPECTACULAR ( Read more... )

Horseback riding early in the morning. My hourse was old and slow and didn't listen to me very well. But it was fun because when we got too far behind, I got to trot. Came back and later went out snorkeling. Twas a drift snorkel, so we hiked up some path and followed the current back down. Some places the coral grew to about a foot under the ( Read more... )

I wandered into the card room at some point around 11ish and there were teens there so the coordinator lady introcduced me to them and said I could hang out even though I was too old, not that that would have stopped me but oh well, So I met Jonathan from seat 23B whom we were plaing trivia with on the flight from LA to Papeete and we were beating ( Read more... )

Early morning tour around the island. There was a young boy, Billy from Hawaii, 16ish on our tour. Pretty good. Other one in Papeete was cool because we got to slap the New Zealand silver ferns on each other. This one had spectacular views and our guide was funny. Came back for sit down lunch in search of Marius, but alas no luck. Out back to the ( Read more... )

Buffet breakfast again. Went to go waste time with mom while Christine went to work out. Some (2) girls stopped me and asked if I was there for the teen ping pong tournament, and I said sure.

Came back got to see our cute assistant waiter, Marius. =D Then singer/ ( Read more... )
