At the end of April my wife Theresa and I visited Bora Bora in the South Pacific. It is a 45-minute flight northwest of Tahiti. Many people probably have images of the islands in this area, but the reality far exceeded my imagination.

Bora Bora is a volcanic mountain covered with jungle vegetation. Surrounding this island is a shallow lagoon, which in turn is surrounded by lush, low-level islands called motus. The lagoon appears as clear as a swimming pool, with shallower areas a light green and deeper ones a light blue.

The airport is on the outer ring of islands. After collecting their luggage, tourists board the boats sent by resorts. You are met at the boat by the hotel staff, which reminded me of the "Fantasy Island" television episodes. We stayed in an over-water bungalow. The coffee table had a glass top and sides and was situated over an opening in the floor. Fish were swimming directly underneath us and, because the area was well-lit, we could see them even in the middle of the night.

If you already have one, don’t worry it’s never too late for enhancements.

For the latter, there’s other options that don’t involve much hassle, such as floating swimming pool lights or lights you can hook on the top of your pool walls....
