Bora Bora Movie

August 19, 2009 12:06 pm by jon

I finally had some time to edit all of our video footage together from our trip to Bora Bora. All of this video (except for the octopus) came off my Canon SD780IS which can capture video in HD 720p. I ended up using it a lot more than my DSLR. I edited it all together using iMovie in about two nights on the couch. I think it turned out pretty well for a dinky point ‘n shoot and free software. Thanks to Jeanie and Jason for the tip to sit on the left side of the plane!

The video below is not HD, but it’s a big file. If you have a weak computer it may be choppy. I’ll upload this to Vimeo later to stream the HD version.

Honeymoon in Bora Bora

August 13, 2009 12:36 am by jon

For our honeymoon we went to Bora Bora in French Polynesia (west of Tahiti). It is the most beautiful place we’ve ever been. I’ve been to beaches in Oahu, Maui, Caribbean, Mexico, and the Philippines, but Bora Bora is hands down the best of them all. We stayed at the Intercontinental Le Moana which resides on the southern tip of the main island. It is connected to the Intercontinental Thalasso by shuttle boat. Great resort and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting.

We flew out two days after the wedding and spent seven nights on the island. Most of our days were spent snorkeling, swimming, biking, kayaking, and just sleeping on beach chairs and hammocks. The island is only 19 miles around. We were able to ride rented cruiser bicycles around the island is less than 2.5 hours. The airport was tiny. About the size of a large house, it’s located on a motu (small island). From the airport everyone has to take a shuttle boat to their resort. Check out a simple slideshow I threw together using Picasa below.
