Bora Bora — After criscrossing the South Pacific, filming Tahiti and her breathtakingly beautiful islands for the last 4 weeks, the ESCAPESEEKER film team arrived in Bora Bora after dark.  All we could really see were the billions of stars above us, and the lagoon waters below.    It was  fantastic timing actually because my team knew they were in for the ultimate photographer’s dream, but it had to remain just that–a dream–until yesterday morning when they awakened to what many only dream of seeing–the postcard perfect, signature trademark of Bora Bora!  I get so much joy seeing the amazement in their eyes every time we arrive at a new island, each one so unique in its own way. 

Thanks to renowned anthropologists, scientists, and local experts, we have had one incredible mind-expanding adventure after another.  But let’s not forget the other tremendous reasons we like to ESCAPE.  I like to call them the 3 R’s:  Rest, Relaxation, and Romance.  And, there’s no better place more conducive to all of the above than BORA BORA!  Honestly, if the heavenly environment of Bora Bora doesn’t enfuse, revive your relationship with romance, then you better give it serious thought.  You may not be with the right person!    Bora Bora, “the pearl of French Polynesia” and known as the Supreme Island, is considered by many to be the most romantic place on earth!  Two of our cast members, Garrett and Jessica willing obliged to put it to the test.

Rest and Relaxation at this moment continue to elude our film team as we slowly check-off the remaining items on our filming rundown, while we remain focused on our objective–to prove that if Heaven has a Heaven…it would be in French Polynesia!

Tahitians love sharing this story:  Rumor has it that God created French Polynesia on the 6th day so that He would have an extraordinarily BEAUTIFUL place to rest on the 7th day!  I’m looking out over the crystal blue waters from my bungalow as I write this blog entry…as the morning light is just beginning  to break… the dramatic beauty that surrounds me only makes me believe that what the Tahitians say is absolutely true!

If you have not yet set foot on French Polynesia, it is time to put it on your TO DO list!  If you would like a reminder, take a peak  by visiting the InterContinental Bora Bora Resort’s websites:

Our entire team has captured sufficient footage, numerous compelling stories to fill not one, not two, but THREE episodes!  Our last few remaining days of filming will ensure that our Tahiti feature special will definitely become 90-minutes long!

On behalf of our entire filming team, here’s to Blissful, HEAVENLY Escapes…

With love,
