Possible vacation to Tahiti or Oceania region
Hi All,
I am trying to plan my next trip, and I am looking at Tahiti for now but I am looking for suggestions to other areas. If anyone has been to PPT how did they get there, one option I see is to go to HNL then nonrev on HA to PPT. We have already been to Europe, and Central America this year so we are looking to visit somewhere new.
Have you been to SE Asia? Thailand and Bali are wonderful places! So is South Africa...

Tahiti sounds real good. And your plan the way to get there is right on. Via HNL. I never been to Tahiti.. Other places i wanted to check out was GALAPAGOS. I was in Australia years ago. Like 1989. Very interesting country, wide open land. Alaska is something to see about now. San Blas islands in Panama pretty neat, All of Mexico is great and lots of fun. I like Acapulco. Can't go wrong in Canada, Niagra falls.Originally Posted by ATG-DL
Pohnpei is interesting to see Nan Madol. I've never made it there, so far off the beaten path between HNL and GUM. Gotta take the island hopper from HNL to GUM like 12 hours. Stops in all these pacific islands you can't pronounce.
Hi Mrs we havent made it to Asia yet. I have personally always wanted to see the Terra cotta army, and great wall.
29Palms,
The Galapagos are definitely on my list. We actually just came back from CUN last week, we stayed at a nice AI place for 60 pppn using their Delta discount. As far as Canada been there done that, got detained and got a t-shirt.

I've been all over Asia. Singapore, Beijing, Hong Kong, Port Morseby, Sydney, Brisbane, Bali, Philippines. Not to mention out in the Pacific on ships too, Okinawa, Korea, Guam, Saipan, Rota, Tinian, Iwo Jima Hawaii. All have their beauty.
I went to FP for my honeymoon. As it was one of those times were we 'had' to get there, I redeemed AA miles for biz seats on Air Tahiti Nui. Note that the HA flight is only once a week, leaving HNL on a Sat afternoon and returning from PPT on a Sat night. Air Tahiti Nui has at least one daily flight from LAX and on some days, they have two. Air France flies from LAX but I think they are down to 3x/wk. Tahiti is more of a stepping off point. I wouldn't spend more than a day there. Bora Bora and Moorea are the two most popular islands to visit. I would also highly recommend the Paul Gaugin cruise.
Aside from FP which I highly recommend, I would second Mrs767s rec of Thailand (esp Koh Samui) and would also suggest Argentina (esp Mendoza if you are into wine).

Sorry, FP = French Polynesia with Tahiti being one of the islands of 'FP'.

thanks for all the suggestions. I will look into Thailand as well, are any of these place unreasonably cold during December?
Anywhere near, at, or south of the equator should be fine, I would imagine. I'd be more concerned about when the rainy seasons are (no idea). My advice: Wikipedia entries for most cities include a climate table with average and record highs and lows for any given month, plus average precipitation amounts.
