1999 moorea dec 10
dec 10 Friday we got up at 7 and went to breakfast. We went to the motu at 10:30 for a picnic and did some snorkeling. We had lunch at 12:30. We came back at 1:30 and lay on the beach. We went across the street and bought a 6 pack of coke for $5.50. We bought an ice cream which took the rest of our book. We went to dinner at 7:30, (fish night). We got on the bus for the Tiki Village at 8:30. The show started at 9. It was very good but really not any better than the show we saw at Club Med the night before for free. It lasted an hour. We rode back to Club Med and went to bed at 11:00.
dec 11 We got up Saturday at 6:15 and packed to go home. We had breakfast at 7. Our battery died on our camera at the Tiki Village show so we went across the street to buy a new one. It was $15.50 for a battery that is $9 at home. (It was $45 in the Club Med shop.) We had lunch at 12:30 and went to the beach. We checked out at 5. I bought a pearl from the Club Med shop. The prices seemed comparable to the other stores...expensive!! I was in sticker shock at the price of pearls! We had dinner at 7, (Italian night). The bus left for the airport at 7:30. They gave us shell leis. We got to the airport at 8:15. I bought a soda for $3 all I had was a $20 so he gave me back French money. We left Moorea at 9:30. We got to Papeete, went through immigration and customs and waited for the 11:45 flight. I cashed in my French money for American. My $17 in change turned into $11!!! That coke cost me $9!!! We had a very uneventful flight to LAX and arrived at 10 am. On Sunday. We went through immigration and customs again and left at 11:55 on American. We got to O'Hare at 5:30 and left at 6:30 for St. Louis. We got to St. Louis at 7:30. We got our bags and ride back to our car and got home at 9:15. It was a great trip!! It was the most beautiful water we've ever seen and the best snorkeling we've ever done!!
