Pure, As-Written Text Travelogue:

• The third entry mentions our first day diving at Bora Bora, along with some tahitian fire dancing.
• The fourth entry describes the next two days, with highlights including diving, jetskiing, a coconut show, touring the island on a Land Rover and touring the island from a helicopter.
• The fifth entry covers the next three days, all of which included diving (along with the two only somewhat scary shark encounters we had). Also present: sunset and sunrise, shopping for pearls, and planning a climb up the mountain.
• The sixth entry includes one day of mountain climbing and dinner at Bloody Mary's, and another of snorkeling with stingrays and a whole-day boat excursion around the island.
• The seventh entry is a bit of return-travel drabble, with good advice on how to spend a 9 hour layover at LAX.

• A single consolidated Travelogue.
