French Polynesia is thought of as a real floral paradise, because of the huge number of species due to the diversity of the climate and physical conditions of islands and atolls. There are nearly one thousand native species augmented by the hundreds of species imported by Europeans during the last few centuries.

Polynesian people wear at least one flower behind the ear, or stuck in their hair. They frequently wear a crown of flowers and a garland as well around their neck, called the “Tiare Tahiti” the Tahitian Gardenia, which is snowy white in colour. This is the threaded and plaited garland you may well be given on arrival at Papeete, entwined with the “Maire”, a fern which symbolises Tahiti.

In addition the following flowers are very popular and can be used on garlands, and flower arrangements. The Hibiscus, the Helconias, red ginger and red torch ginger, flamingo flowers, paper flowers, and of course the many orchid varieties. Finally the Temple flower which is actually a little tree.

Additional flowering plants of course includes bougainvillea, oleander, frangipani, pointsettia, and many others.

The mountainous volcanic islands are densely covered in vegetation, dominated by Coconut Palms. There are a number of other interesting trees including the famous ‘Mutiny on the Bounty’ breadfruit. In additionpapaya, banana, grapefruit, avocado, orange, mandarin, lime and lemon abound, which accounts for the huge amount of fruit that appears at meal times.

The Fauna of French Polynesia in the main is underwater, where the coral, constructed by living creatures is a multitude of colours, from bright yellow to deep purple and reds, taking in neon green and turquoise. The biggest accumulation of fauna is in the lagoons, and not the ocean outside the reefs.

What you will find in the lagoons at night are tiger-sharks, but Gray sharks are very common and Manta rays and giant turtles are not uncommon at all. The richest area is the passes where the tide rushes in and out, and the number of fish who spend all their lives living in the lagoons make snorkelling here very attractive.

All in all the huge variety of flora and fauna are what makes French Polynesia the simply beautiful place it is.

With the unfortunate occurrences of fraudulent coastal vacation sites and scams you are sent to a page offering details about the difference of a bogus and an official site. The site states that the Coastal Board of Directors recognizes a coastal vacation official site. There are only four official sites linked to coastal vacation. There are three key guides to keep in mind that will show proof of an official site. It is important to keep these things in mind while looking for an official site.

The Three Guides To An Official Site

1. The sites will each be identical and include distributor information
2. The sites include a clear claim of being an official site
3. The site carries a motto “powered by COA network”

From this page you are sent to the official site that begins with a description of the number of people who would prefer the freedoms of working from home to their current job. It is estimated that 96% of adults between 25 and 44 are interested in home business. Some of the benefits listed on this site are the low overhead; home based tax advantage, no employees and unlimited early potential. You also are informed about the state of retirees. The ability to have true financial freedom is only at 2%. Statistics on the site show 45% of retirees depend on relatives, 30% need charity assistance, 23% are still working and 2% are home business owners and are financially free.

The site then goes into coastal vacations being a $4.9 trillion dollar travel industry. They offer affordable travel packages at wholesale prices. They offer the finest, most extensive lifetime travel membership packages in the world. They are not a timeshare company. There are three tier travel packages offered. After the products and services are mentioned the site goes on to offer job opportunities. They state that this home business opportunity is low risk, carries a high return, allows for personal satisfaction and offers a strong track record. This company is not a franchise. Those employed are coastal directors who promote the products and work off of sale commissions. Training and leadership courses are provided as well as the assistance of an automated marketing system that performs 80% of the work.

Near the end of the site there is a form that allows you to request further details about travel packages or employment information. The official coastal vacation site was clean and clear on it’s products and services. It was also upfront about the coastal vacation scam sites and what to look for to better protect you from fraud.

When searching any site be wary of the signs and symbols of a site page. Try to look for signs that are associated with legitimate companies such as the BBB symbol. Do not hesitate to perform research about a company prior to providing any personal information. It is better to withhold personal details than to suffer the consequences of becoming a victim of fraud or scams. Always do what is necessary to protect yourself as well as your personal information rather a site is marked official or not.

Despite the fact that we are not big travelers, and though I just cannot stand the heat in southern California at that time of year, when my fiancé asked me where we should go on a short, affordable honeymoon, I quickly suggested a Disneyland vacation. So what if we were grown adults? So what if neither of us cared for intense rides that make you puke or stand in lines that seemed like eternal hours of misery. We started out by first making bookings for our Disneyland vacation at a cheaper dig, foregoing the Disneyland hotel, as we would only be in the room to shower and sleep; and deciding to drive (as we were only a few hundred miles away).

As for me, I simply love amusement park environments: I love the people, who let their hair down and let go of formalities, temporarily; I love the scenes to watch and enjoy; and what’s more I love the country fair snacks that one typically indulges perhaps in only once or twice a year – from the fudge, the cotton candy and also the hot fudge sundaes in giant waffle cones….

However when I got to the gates to kick-start my two-day Disneyland vacation, I thought I might change my mind. As there were hundreds of frenzied people, though not so much crowded and ready to burst through the entrance in excited, crazy television commercial joy, yet still in huge suffocating numbers. Nevertheless, my apprehension was assuaged when the gates did open and the people disbursed, walking with ample of space between us into the park, directly going into the closest food or rest stop building or walking into the building where Abe Lincoln gives the Gettysburg Address. (For those who have made a long drive just before beginning your Disneyland vacation and are parched, weary, and naturally gullible, the wax figures become so alive for you it is startling…. A fantastic way to start your Disneyland vacation experience, which is at most times surreal, anyways!)

At that time, my new husband loved Michael Jackson. He not only could imitate Michael well, but also performed, sang, danced to his albums, and was very excited to see the “new” 3-D movie with Michael and his troupe performing “Thriller”. Though I simply dreaded the lines, I was soon surprised and corrected: as not only was the wait bearable but the entry after the wait was manageable: those staffed at Disneyland’s theatre instructed (and, where necessary, insisted) each person entering move all the way to the far side of the theatre, sitting in the next available seat, in order and successively…not allowing anyone to just run to any old seat, or letting them to change their minds, switching, stumbling, bumping, and holding up the procedure. It was an organizational experience I have referred to for many years after. The Disneyland vacation, besides including all of the foods at the park I longed for, had, in those early eighties, tolerable thrill-seeker rides, beautifully inventive rides, as well as nostalgia shops (for people like me, who had watched Annette and the other mousketeers, had devotedly watched The Wonderful World of Disney every weekend, but had never had any Mickey Mouse ears or had never laid eyes on the real castle or other characters). Of all, besides the organization and which was the most impressive, were the spaciousness and the cleanliness of the park. What an absolutely superb Disneyland vacation. I am now forty-something, and yet I still want to go back!!!!

Dubai is one of the finest cities not only in the middle eastern region, but also throughout the globe. What makes it more special among the known urban centers of the world however, is the sandy surroundings it has been built upon. It shows on one hand the ability of the city planners to have got such an architectural marvel built in the middle of the desert, and on the other it lends a chance for some major outdoor activities around for the fun seeking enthusiasts. There are several locations around Dubai that one could choose to embark on with their desert safaris and have plenty of leisurely time ahead in the rustic Arabian countryside.

These safaris normally take place at a time the sun just starts lowering down on the western horizon and the sand dunes begin displaying larger shadows. The excitement of traveling straightway down from Dubai into a vast deserted land can be immeasurable in these circumstances. (more…)
