~Our Renewals~
GETTING A FEEL FOR THE PERFECT ISLAND
#6, LAST CHOICE out all all 6 islands!
We are making a decision to where we want our romance to continue for our vow renewals!
This has been HARD to really make that decision. All islands are so beautiful to have weddings/renewals. Something about this one is really special to us. The outside eating in the water! Couldn't load up that pic....but the intimate water bungalows is a plus, taking a canoe to your room/bunglow ans seeing the water below you in pic #1 & 2! ....Sigh....Ahhhhh, which island! ! LOL
Here is some insight we studied on Tahiti!
