Hmmmmmm...I have always been hesitant to go to French Polynesia as it always seemed SO expensive and tourist driven. The pix I have seen of Bora Bora and the other islands are of course are ethereal, but it just doesn't ever seem like you could just hang out with the locals, away from all the 4 star resorts. I know folks who have been to Fiji and had good things to say and that the prices were very reasonable. I don't know, $300 a night hotels were never my thing.........hmmmmmm
