Dear Ethan, Sean and Jenna Tahiti#1

Grandpa and I are in Tahiti.  Find it on your map at home. Our airplane flight over the Pacific ocean was 9 hours.  We had an overnight flight  and arrived in Fa aa  Tahiti at 5 in the morning.  We were greeted at the airport by 2 men playing the ukulele. We collected our luggage and took a bus to our ferry boat.  The ferry boat took 30 minutes and we arrived on the island of Moorea. Everyone wanted us to take a taxi to our hotel for about 30 dollars but we asked around and found a bus, actually a big diesel truck with an attached box with benches, where we paid 3 dollars each and they took us to our hotel.  Our hotel is in Cooks Bay.   We walked to a grocery store.  food is very expensive here.  1 dozen eggs are 4 dollars.  a package of cookies like we have at home are 4 dollars.  this is about 4X what we pay. Luckily we found baguettes (bread) for 50 cents,. Pineapples and bananas are the same price as US on sale so that was our first meal.  Bread, a whole pineapple and bananas.  they told us to buy our water because the water is only good for coffee We have a kitchen and boiled our water, put it in the fridge and that is our water.  We’ll let you know if we get sick.
