We're here

We arrived in Pape'ete this morning at 6:15 AM local time. (11:30 EST.) When we finally got in the taxi, we realized that we had been traveling for exactly 24 hours: 

That's 4 1/2 hours to LA from Atlanta, 7 hours layover in LA, 8 1/2 hours LA to Papeete and assorted driving and waiting. 

But we're here. This is the view from our deck at the Le Meridian. I could --- and probably will -- sit for hours watching the fish swim in the coral reef below us. Wow.
