We loved French Polynesia especially Moorea and Raiatea. We had the privilege of biking in Raiatea, a memorable time. We would go back in a heartbeat. The people are very special.
Oh yes French Poly was our best trip anywhere in the world. The freshness of the food each day was incredible. The scenery was exquisite. The people are amazing. So self sufficient. We sought out locals beaches which was easy to do by renting a car on Moorea. Everyone should go there once. The only issue is that there is Little to do if the weather does not cooperate which is part of what makes it wonderful but also limiting. . Avoid rainy season.
We’ve gone to all the Farm to Table restaurants in Los Cabos and they keep growing and getting more expensive. Los Tamarindos is still our favorite as it sits above San Jose del Cabos overlooking their actual farm. Small and intimate. El Huerto is just outside of LosCabos and it’s got an inventive menu and gorgeous evening setting. A lot of $ went into creating this location but it’s worth the splurge for the total experience. Flora Farms just keeps adding ways for tourists to spent money-spa, gift shop, fractional housing,
First of all we visited the same vanilla farm in May and met this other guy who had converted a broken refrigerator into a tuna smoker. He had these large chunks of tuna in this fridge, on the side he had a thing with a fan blowing the smoke through a tube into the fridge. Unreal creativity. We also did the same inner island tour in Tahiti. As you know food is crazy expensive and when we were also in Rangiroa we saw like a 2 liter tub of Ice cream that was $37! Anyway my best friend grew up on a farm in Modica Sicily and we stayed on his parents farm when he got married in 2012. They sell primarily cheese but also olive oil and vegetables. We walked in and his mother had fresh ricotta from the cows outside boiling in a pan, about 36 cannolis in another pan and the biggest Arancini you have ever seen in another pan. And then she brings me to her keg of wine gives me a glass and she just opens the spigot. I mean life doesnt get much better than that.

Thanks, Eric
