Elena,
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. It is so sad that you had to end it with a loss.
We are going on the same trip 7/12...in fact I am packing now! This is maybe a silly question re: the bath products...when I knew they used Aveda I decided to save poundage and not bring some products I use and use the Aveda shampoo etc. Was the other comparable? I am trying to pack light but after this board info I had to get the swimways raft and overdoor shoe thing and things are filling up without the clothes! Would love your input.
Also, you mentioned snorkeling day 2 in Rangiroa...was that a ship tour or could you go on your own?
Was also glad they would allow you to get beer instead of liquor....2 bottles would be too much for us and my husband likes beer! When did you tell them what you wanted? We do not have a butler and could not "request" online.
Again, thank you for taking the time to share with us.
I hope you will have another opportunity to complete your trip in the near future.
Carol
