Bora Bora was my favourite island, meeting all expectations -- it's just as gorgeous in real life as in all the pics you see online. It's very touristy (in a 5-star exotic kind of way) and SO expensive, tho... so, those on a budget might prefer Moorea or other islands (apparently Huahine and Mauputi are equally beautiful but more secluded and off the tourist radar).

far-flung luxury resorts aren't in the cards for the near future...but yes one day
