Home sweet home is right, Cyndi. We had a wonderful time and we are very happy to be back home now.

I have to tell a little about the airport at Bora Bora (code name BOB). We arrived at the check-in desk for our flight back to Tahiti and ever so helpfully presented our passports. The desk agent slid them back to us, "I don't need these." He did not check our ID nor was there any security. You could go through the gift shop, if you liked, but you did not go through metal detectors or anything else at all. It was like things used to be.

We spent the night in Tahiti and took the Air France flight back to LA. Air France was fine, but there were at least 50 kids on the plane, many of whom were unaccompanied by either parents or good manners. It was like recess at a French reform school, with kids running up and down the aisles and fighting and wrestling the entire journey. It was really too long a flight to send kids without some supervision. I wonder how many of them ended their trip in LA, as the flight continued to Paris.

We spent the night in LA and then came home on the third day. Breaking the return up was a great idea as we arrived home relatively fresh.

I can't wait to go back!
