Title: All about me (Bonus Tahiti) Post by: Broughden on May 10, 2008, 09:18:39 AM Just a small update.
Two weeks ago I got married...on the beaches of St George Island, FL. It was a beautiful ceremony. We then spent 11 or so days in the Tahitian Islands. One in Tahiti and then split evenly between Moorea and BoraBora. If you are thinking about ever going to Tahiti feel free to ask me for some info or feedback. For example, Bora Bora while better known sucked compared to Moorea, and if you want I can elaborate as to why. Oh and in two days I am quiting the NYPD, leaving NYC and spending the summer as a wilderness guide in Maine. God how I have come to loathe this town. Anyway...pictures!!!! Enjoy!

Title: Re: All about me (Bonus Tahiti) Post by: Engels on May 10, 2008, 05:41:54 PM Dude, that shark totally needed to be tasered. Hah hah, just joking! Seriously, congratulations, sounds like you had the time of your life!
Title: Re: All about me (Bonus Tahiti) Post by: K9 on May 10, 2008, 05:46:12 PM That place looks amazing, I'd never heard of Moorea before, now I really want to go there.
Dude, that shark totally needed to be tasered. Hah hah, just joking! Seriously, congratulations, sounds like you had the time of your life! This made me wonder, what actually would happen if you shot a Taser into water? I'm guessing they wouldn't really work so well if you're already under. Title: Re: All about me (Bonus Tahiti) Post by: Abagadro on May 10, 2008, 06:06:54 PM Congrats dude. I hope you are prepared for all of your stuff to gradually be shifted to a small, inaccessible closet somewhere.
