All travel has its advantages. If the passenger visits better countries,
he may learn to improve his own. And if fortune carries
him to worse, he may learn to enjoy it.

Tahiti — an island that has essentially given its name to all of French Polynesia — greeted us with tears today. It started raining as the ship was on approach … and it continued to rain on and off throughout our call in Papeete. Lucky for us, we had no specific plans so the impact on our day was minimal.
