Photo - Bora Bora, French Polynesia

My wife, Pam, and I got married on 10-10-10. While planning our honeymoon, we originally thought about going to Hawaii. We had both read the book "Hawaii" by James Michener, which starts out in Bora Bora. While looking at Hawaii on Google Earth, we decided to head south and find Bora Bora. Once we found it and saw what it looked like from the sky, we looked at each other and said, "Why aren't we going there?" Well that did it and we decided right then and there that we were going to Bora Bora for our honeymoon. I can tell you that it was a great decision and we had the time of our lives there. Bora Bora was everything we dreamed of. Here are a few of my photographs from that fabulous place on planet Earth. Enjoy. . .
