This place is Bora Bora, Tahiti. I have known since sophomore year of college this destination was where I was going to go for my honeymoon.  I have been wanting to go Bora Bora so badly that I have it down to the hotel I will be staying at.  Even if it means I need to get married at city hall, I am determined to go to Bora Bora for my honeymoon.

So what fascinates me so much about this place? Honestly, I am not so sure myself.  It all started when a friend of mine who was studying hospitality management was naming the major hotel groups he wanted to ultimately work in.  While researching the different hotels, we landed on the website for Bora Bora and I instantly fell in love.  The blue waters, mountainous landscape, and over-water bungalows.

Interestingly enough, I do not know how to swim, yet I love the water.  I have thought about whether the idea of sleeping above water when I cannot swim frightens me, but for some reason I am more fascinated and drawn to the idea of sleeping on top of a body of waters.  I am also intrigued by the culture there.  I am sure there are many islands out there that is just as beautiful and can offer such accommodations, but I also know that the culture of French Polynesia is somewhere I have yet to venture.  I love the idea of spending a week immersed in a culture I am unfamiliar with, and learning about their food, music, and customs.  I can’t wait to go!
