The Traveler blogs about the difficulties of getting online in French Polynesia. She also blogs as Traveler Trish with a more personal account of her time in Tahiti.

Esmerelda talks about the highlight of her trip, visiting a Pearl Farm: "The highlight of the trip for me was a trip to the atoll of Marutea Sud, to visit the pearl farm of Robert Wan, the biggest producer of black pearls in Tahiti."
