Although I have never been to Hawaii, ...Hi Murray,<br /><br />Although I have never been to Hawaii, many cruisers (and a Hawaiian friend of ours) have made that same statement. The high islands of French Polynesia look very similar than Hawaii and the Polynesian people have a close connection to (and like to visit) the Hawaiian islands as well. Culturally, they have the same origin I believe.<br /><br />Tahiti is pretty once you leave the capital and explore the interior. Pape'ete is a good place for us to go shopping and run errands, but other than the seaside park, it is not very nice. The city is busy and congested; not a place we prefer to hang out. We only go when we "have to". I think the other Society islands have more charm than Tahiti; most cruisers don't like the main island very much.<br /><br />Mark and I will be spending the coming months in the Society Islands, exploring the different islands until April 2015 (after cyclone season). Then, new plans will follow... We have learned - the hard way - not to plan too long ahead.<br /><br />All the best and enjoy CT - hopefully it is not getting too cold yet. :-)Liesbethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402741679152508367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176248835541941998.post-21352327477947296512014-09-21T11:39:21.732-05:002014-09-21T11:39:21.732-05:00Moorea sounds like Hawai'i !
