FIRST RTW TRIP - RETURN HOME

TAHITI - DISNEYLAND - SEPTEMBER 1992

After Sydney, we were supposed to fly to Fiji Islands. However, when we arrived to the airport, we learned that the travel agency had issued our air tickets without even bothering to inform that there was a need of a visa to get to Fiji. As Hawaii had just been smashed by the terrible hurricane Enid (Iniki, in Hawaiian), and there was no need of a visa to fly to Tahiti, we changed our plans and went to Papeete, before heading to LA and Disneyland. Fortunately, we managed to cancel hotel and cruise reservations without charges, but the distress was high! The remaining photos of this journey are far from interesting. They are here, however, only to testify the remaining stops of the first round the world trip (from Zurich, there are none)!

TAHITI


"INTERCONTINENTAL HOTEL - We were at a nice "fare" with a fabulous view towards Moorea. But the wind, the sea - too rough for a lagoon -, and the rain moved us to the main building"

DISNEYLAND

"ENTERING DISNEYLAND - What an excitement"


"THREE DAYS, FOUR NIGHTS strolling around. Much of a surprise, even for returning adults"
