You're going to have a wonderful time in Tahiti...I have another reading suggestion for Jay, Blue Latitudes by Tony Horwitz.
He writes about retracing the voyages of Captain Cook - well written, thoughtful and funny! They will probably have a copy in the ship's library.
As a gal who grew up in the cornfields of Iowa, I can appreciate the excitement of seeing the world we could only read about as children.
