Especially with a 3month old baby. I know what they mean about the petrol tanks and warehouses as they left the airport- "Polynesian Paradise" isnt always postcard perfect when you actually get there. Having been to French Polynesia myself, I am both jealous, excited, and fearful for them at the same time. This should be quite the experience- they are actually doing IT. As awesome as it would be to live in the Cooks or French Polynesia, etc- culture shock, loneliness and general feelings of isolation can creep up on you anywhere- it will be interesting to see how that works its way in as the experiment goes on. I'm captivated already! [ Edited by: fatuhiva on 2003-07-30 00:58 ]
