The Papeete airport has a storage room where you can store your luggage. You have to pay for it, but that's what we did when we had to kill a couple of hours before our flight home.
Awesome! Thanks for the info!!! 
You're welcome! Just one more thing about that: when we were there last August, the storage room was in a small building near the parking lot, not in the main terminal area. There were definitely signs that you can follow, though.
I highly recommend going downtown and checking out the roulottes near the tourist information center if you have a few hours to kill. They're there after 6 p.m. It's a fun, festive area with so many food vans and people.

Sounds good...I will definitely check them out! Those roulottes sound cool and delish!
Just have to post this amazing picture.....for any Thalasso girls - look to the far left of the picture...those are definitely the Thalasso OWBs!!! I can't wait!
(I got this pic today from someone's album they posted on Tahiti-Explorer....this pic was on the flight to Bora Bora)

How about the disposable video cameras from CVS? I bought one for a cruise, and thought it was pretty neat.

I have a video camera but it was bought 5 yrs ago which means it is totally old school and out of date...I hate how that happens. Technology has changed so much in just 5 yrs! Nowadays any video I take is just on my regular video camera...I have 2 Kodak cameras and both take great video...so I'll probably just use that.
You could always register for a video camera!

Girls...sorry I'm finding good stuff on the Tahiti-Explorer boards today...
You have to check out the pictures this guy posted from his HM...they are amazing! WOW - I could stare at them all day. Only hotel that I am going to that he went is the IC in Papeete (and I'm only spending first night to sleep there)...but just seeing all his shots really put me in a good mood...thought you girls would enjoy them as well. He stayed at the Sheraton in Moorea and the Bora Bora Nui. And some other island too he went to...here is the link to his slideshow in Kodak Gallery:
Reviewers Pics from Tahiti, Moorea, Bora Bora - from the Tahiti-Explorer boards
OMG... These pics are great. I am so excited IC Tahiti looks gorgeous. We are staying there for 2 nts. - I was goignt o swithc to 1 nts - but I think I like staying there for another day to go shopping and stuff. Plus the hotel looks amazing.

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!
NEW review of Thalasso...just posted today. In review is a link to his photos. Sounds like he had some problems with service...just a few kinks that I'm sure will improve as time goes on. You have to expect some problems with a brand new hotel. Good to hear that the food is so delicious! Esp since it is free breakfast and dinner!!!
WOW - I'm in love with their pictures!!!!!
See this link:

Smara - SO COOL that you added 2 more nights! I'm jealous - so how many nights total is that now for you? That is great!
I hope Thalasso stays UN-booked for Nov and Dec when I am there so that there are empty sapphire or diamond OWBs that I can get upgraded to! 
One of the reviews I posted above - they got upgraded to a sapphire OWB...so that is good to hear! I can't even wait to go! Going to be the best trip ever.

LOL that is so funny because when he told me that the Thalasso was booked the first thing I thought was oh crap- no upgrade for us. Hopefully you guys will get the upgrade!! We are going for 12nts now. Im so excited after seeing all these great reviews, I want to go straight to the HM.

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!
That is good to hear! I cannot even wait to see the Thalasso. I was all excited thinking Le Taha'a was going to be the most luxurious part of my HM....now I'm thinking it won't top Thalasso!!!
Hey are any of you going to be buying yourself a Tahitian pearl??? I feel like I should just b/c it's the thing to buy there but I have to say I don't even know if I really like them that much. I'll have to see. I might get one for my mom and MIL if I'm not that into them.

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!
Le' Taha is going to be awesome.. its very luxurious - he priced it out for us to go there for the 2 days we just added but it was alot of mulah and we decided to do some shopping in Tahiti and enjoy the clubs/bars.
Yeah I am not into pearls either but feel like I should get one..but they can be pricey I might do that as well and get my sister one as a gift. She would love it.

I'll be on my HONEYMOON........I don't plan on staying in touch with anyone back home...haha! It's just 11 days...they can survive without hearing from us for 11days! But yes - calling cards or email or whatever just to let someone know we arrived safely. You can get email access probably from most hotels...esp the new one on Bora Bora if that's what you're looking at.
I wouldn't worry about it though - enjoy your honeymoon!!!

Re: French Polynesia (Tahiti, Bora Bora, etc.) Honeymoons!!!!!!
Thought some of you may be interested in this....apparently there is no more shark feeding....at least on Moorea. They were becoming too dangerous! YIKES!
Link to post about no more shark feeding
I am not upset by it but thought some of you may have been excited to do that...
Someone from the Tahiti-Explorer boards shared a link to their pictures and I was terrified at how many sharks were in the pictures...here is her link:
Link to shark pictures and other gorgeous Moorea and Bora Bora pics
Just in case you don't have a Kodak Gallery acct and don't feel like opening one...here is a pic of the sharks!!!
