The 21-Hour Trek to Tahiti & Paul Gauguin Cruises

We are finally on our way to Tahiti and the Society Islands! It's going to be a long trip—about 21 hours from our door to our hotel in Papeete—but it will be well worth it. By this evening we'll be tucked in bed at the InterContinental Tahiti and on Saturday afternoon we'll board the m/s Paul Gauguin from Paul Gauguin Cruises.

There's no chance of an upgrade on the way to Los Angeles (too many Elites running that route from Newark), but our game plan is to sleep on that flight and then try to stay awake on the eight-hour Air Tahiti Nui flight. That way, we'll hopefully be able to sleep through the night once we arrive in Tahiti. Fingers crossed that our plan works!

Stay tuned to this blog for daily posts from the South Pacific. We promise to share all the details of the trip with you, along with tons of photos (Internet willing)! And, if there's anything you want to know about Paul Gauguin Cruises, the InterContinental Tahiti, Le Meridien Bora Bora, or the islands in general, please let us know!
