Bora Bora

Thursdays are going to be Travel Thursdays! Places that I want to go or places I have been. So to kick off my first Travel Thursday I have picked Bora Bora as my destination. Bora Bora is an island in the Leeward group of the Society Islands of French Polynesia. I

chose it because I have always loved the idea of staying in one of those huts over the beautiful turquoise water. It just makes a beautiful picture and I think if I were vacationing there that I would be so relaxed and stress free. It just looks like one of those places. First I would pick The St. Regis Bora Bora Resort in a Royal Overwater Two-Bedroom Pool Villa for 11 nights and 12 days during the last week of February and first week of March (my birthday falls into those two weeks) which includes a spacious balcony with sun bed, private pool, personal St Regis butler, 2 bedrooms with king size beds, private garden with outdoor shower to stay at for $4,756.62.

After I got settled into my Villa I would explore the Miri Miri Spa. It offers all kinds of treatments and massages. Over my almost two weeks there I

would spread out these treatments. Start off with a Deluxe Manicure ($138.55 for 80 minutes) and a Deluxe Pedicure ($138.55 for 80 minutes) being at the beach your hands and feet have to look fabulous. Then I would schedule for Heremoana Facial ($196.25 for 50 minutes), In-Villa massage (20% surcharge), Foot Reflexology ($173.17 for 50 minutes) for when exploring the island starts to wear on my feet, Tahitian Hot Stone Massage ($184.71 for 50 minutes) because I have always wanted to try hot stones, Body Exfoliations ($173.17 for 50 minutes), Waxing service (Full leg classic, Half Arms, and Eyebrows - $219.33) your gonna need a touch up half way through the two weeks, and at the next to last day I would want a Sunburn Relief Wrap ($184.71 for 50 minutes) because God knows my lilly white ass will be burnt like Monday morning toast.

Over the two weeks besides doing spa treatments I would want to swim in the water and my private pool. I would find a place to snorkeling and hiking up Mount Otemanu. I would find out if there were tennis lessons to take at there tennis courts.

My nights will be spent enjoying room service and going to the restaurants that the hotel has to offer. Te Pahu looks like a good start. Its a Mediterranean grill that servers local food.

After all that excitement I am going to need a vacation from the vacation. Maybe one day I will get to Bora Bora. Until then I'll just look at the beautiful pictures.
