Most of you knows that Mum went on a trip. She was gones for what seemed forevers!
She has lots of photos from her trip so I thoughts I would post them in segments.
This first segment today, is from the start of the trip.
This is Papeete, Tahiti. The capital of Tahiti.
Mum spent a number of days there.
The weather was sunny and overcast.
It tooks 3 hours to fly from Vancouver to LA, then it tooks 8.5 hours to fly from LA to Tahiti.
