Question

Hey guys

now that I'm back I have to say that if anyone has ever thought of going to Rarotonga it is well worth the trip, it is the most beautiful island I have ever visited (and I have visited a few) - it's a wonderful destination.

Just to show you what I mean I thought I'd share a few of my image with anyone who would like a look

The link works perfectly MC and the photos are just brilliant. - ray76, Sep 6, 2010

Wonderful stuff. I grew up in Browns Bay, East Coast Bays and really miss the Pacific. Thanks - lagartijaverde, Sep 6, 2010

Thanx for taking a look :) Yes the Pacific is a gorgeous part of the planet! - Kiwi-Girl, Sep 6, 2010

Answer 2

Ray and I are on the same page regarding frangipani. Suddenly the smell and feel of the flowers are back with me.

I love the picture with your toes floating in the bay with the thin high clouds above.

Thanx Nizhoni - you're right there's nothing quite like that frangrance - feel free to use any of them as screen savers if you'd like :) - Kiwi-Girl, Sep 8, 2010

Answer 4

Thanks for sharing this beautiful island with us.

I have never heard of it, but then again I have never been out of the United States!

I did some quick research, and I have provided a link to Rarotonga on Wikipedia if anyone wants to research or know more about this island paradise.

Answer 5

Ah ! Marie Claire, you are so right the Pacific Islands are just heavenly.

And the Frangipani is the best , the aroma is so breathtaking , one of my favorite trees, we have a native frangipani which does not look at all like the other one , a smaller flower but the perfume is exactly the same , quite odd! I spent many of my younger years around the Islands , happy happy days,and nights.

Sounds like you're due another visit lol :) - Kiwi-Girl, Sep 6, 2010

Following a request for photos with a bit more of a local flavour I've added some extras

Answer 7

I love these pictures! I especially loved the sunset. God is extravagant in the beauty He provides for us. Are these a part of the Cook Islands? How far is this from where you live?

I have been dreaming for a long time to go to American Samoa, which is another South Pacific island. We have friends from there and their descriptions of their island have been my motivation.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanx Nicole, yes that is the main island in the Cooks. Next time I go I want to go to the outer island of Aitutaki as that looks so beautiful in pictures. I haven't been to Samoa yet but that also looks gorgeous. Do go and let us know what it's like : - Kiwi-Girl, Sep 6, 2010
