Getting Personal: Bora Bora Vacation Part 1 & YouTube Slideshow

I  can always tell how well my vacation goes by how many pictures I take. I took over 1500 while in Bora Bora! I went crazy just taking pictures of everything and anything! It was so hard to select which ones to share so first I will share pics that hubby was gracious enough to take of me and then I will do a separate post with the bungalow and scenery:)  We left on October 1st and came back on the 12th. Twelve days of pure bliss! We stayed at the Hilton Bora Bora Nui. More on the hotel later….
This is at sunset right before dinner- the background looks fake. It was surreal!
Click below for more pics!

I hesitated to post pics of me in a bathing suit in fear of the “weirdo’s” and “pervs” out in the internet world but hopefully it’ll be okay:)

Is it just me or do most women want their hubby or bf to take “sexy” photos of them on the beach when they vacation? Here is my “attempt” at looking sexy…clearly that is NOT the case! Every couple we saw on the beach at one point in time had a “sexy” photo session w/their mate.

This was on a Tuesday night which was “Polynesian Night” where you could not dine at the fine dining restaurant. We got to see a Polynesian dance and the food was delicious! If you love fresh seafood- then it’s the perfect place for you. If you are wondering what that large bandaid is doing on my leg- I will explain on the next post. Sorry for the stragley hair- I never do my hair during vacation- too much work.
I had the idea of taking some jumping photos to show how happy I was and how much I love Bora Bora. Can you tell I love it there?
Another one at sunset in my “Peter Pan” dress from F21 that I have never worn.
Ahh….so relaxing…..
It’s so nice being on vacation because you don’t have to wear much make-up or do your hair! A win win for me! And you get to wear cute dresses that you normally couldn’t wear in the work place.
I clearly tried to pack lightly with just light weight dresses and 2 pairs of wedge sandals- so I’m not going for the fashion runway look…LOL
Sorry for the butt shot but I thought this was a cool pic that hubby took- I had no idea he had photography skills since I take my own blog photos 🙂
I’ll end it here so you won’t get tired of seeing so many pictures of me. There are tons more so if you are interested- here is my first attempt at a slideshow video- my first youtube upload:) It was my first time using iMovie on my Mac so bear with my amateur status!!

I hope you enjoy these as much as I did! I wanted to include a photo of hubby but he’s not ready to be seen just yet- still working on it…hehheeheh 🙂
Part 2 of Bora Bora will have a video of our over the water villa and some awesome scenery shots!!! Stay tuned!
