12:44 FLOHR: OK so this is the map, this is Huahine, that’s where are. Actually there’s two islands,

00:16- 00:34 JON: We've just arrived in Tahiti with Alaska Airlines and it's code share partner, Air France's non stop flight from LAX to French Polynesia. Tahiti has 118 islands, far more than we can tackle continental airlines cheap flights in a 30 minute show, but we are going to dive into Moorea, Huahine and world famous continental airlines cheap flights Bora Bora. The fun starts now!
01:14-01:25 KARL: Yes, it's smaller than the Hawaiian pineapple but sweeter, uh. That's why the only thing we grow here on this island. continental airlines cheap flights So the Victoria is originally come from Brazil, it was also introduced here.
03:36-03:49 KARL: Oh you know I like to see people, continental airlines cheap flights I like to show people how beautiful is my island, you know? And I really like my job, you know, because we have beautiful island, and I like to show you my island, yeah?
04:51-05:00 JON: Now we've stayed at a lot of hotels, and this one is very unique to me. My favorite thing about this property I can actually swim from your beautiful pool area straight to my room and just crawl up.
06:07-06:31 PAUL: Well we are in Maiva village here on Huahine, and as you said, it's the largest continental airlines cheap flights archeological site; it's a huge habitation site, and the largest in the Pacific Ocean. It's an area that expands over a kilometer in width and has the densest concentration of sites in the South Pacific. What we're looking at here is actually is an alter and these stones right here are backrests for seats.
06:39-07:07 PAUL: Well there's obviously a lot of different vegetation we're seeing as we wander. This is, uh, happens to be pineapple. And it's kind of interesting the modern Tahitian language because the first Europeans that came spoke English, and they brought metal, tools and new plants, there's a lot of words in the Tahitian language that actually come from English, like pineapple, pinapo. And as we go up the hill we will see vanilla, vanilla, or hammer, hamre. Or fry pan, fripani. So the head club was replaced by the fry pan, fripani.
07:17-07:35 PAUL: As I mentioned earlier, this is over a kilometer wide and it's just one huge site so this small area here, this is just a very small portion of the 5,6,7 percent of what's on this hill. So this area that's kind of cleared back has been restored by Dr Siyoto and it is called teyana, continental airlines cheap flights which is the traditional land name.
07:38-07:55 PAUL: It's really hard to say, this is actually, this terrace we're on here was a house site, and there was a rectangular building, and actually these stones here correspond with, to where there would have been a wall, so the wall would have been built flush inside and the stone keeps out the mud, the rain and the erosion.
08:49-08:58 PAUL: Well Jon, it's still very much a hidden treasure, I mean even people that have grown up in Tahiti aren't really aware of the fact that these sites are here on Huahine, but this place puts a big smile on my face.
09:16 JON: Most of us have really continental airlines cheap flights stressed out lives, especially if you live in the hustle bustle of a city. Well, if you wanna come and really chill out, come to Huahine, and come to the Te Tiare Resort, this place is so chill and beautiful Rudy, thanks for having us.
RUDY: Well, pleasure to have you guys on board here and really, you wanna feature Huahine and the people, this island is magical. It's not like Bora Bora, or Moorea, where there's a lot of business and entertainment and things like that. The people that enjoy this place, you mentioned it Jon, it's the quietness, it's the tranquility, we have uh, coral and fish here on our over water bungalows, below them actually, that you can't find in any other part of the island.
10:02 JON: Now you built this place, right? This was your inspiration? continental airlines cheap flights What inspired you to build a property like this so kind of tucked away, you have to get here by boat, you can't even get here by car.
10:53 JON: The word tattoo originated in Tahiti. The legend of Tohu, the god of tattoo, describes painting the ocean's fish in beautiful colors and patterns. In Polynesian culture, tattoos have long been considered a sign of beauty, and in earlier times were ceremoniously applied continental airlines cheap flights when reaching adolesence. And speaking of youth, over half the population continental airlines cheap flights of 200,000 continental airlines cheap flights in Tahiti is under the age of 20.
12:44 FLOHR: OK so this is the map, this is Huahine, that's where are. Actually there's two islands, so we got the big island that we call Huahine nui, nui means big in tahitian. continental airlines cheap flights And Huahine iti, on the right side Huahine iti means small. Ok, so we are gonna pass under the bridge that separate the two island, and then we're gonna go all the way to the east side, and go back to the north to see the pearl farm.
13:31 JON: Tahitian pearls are famous all over the world. Well, as were riding our jet skis around the water, I saw this little like hut, or house, just like sitting in the middle of the water. It's a pearl farm.
CANDY: Yes, we start with a little explanation. The first thing, the oyster who gives the Tahitian pearl we call the oyster the pinctada marg it's a long name but this is the one who lives here in French Polynesia. After we take the pearl out 24 months after, continental airlines cheap flights and if it's really nice it means we have a good graft and good host oyster. We can try again with the same oyster to get second pearl.

OLIVIA: Ok, everything is grilled just right there. continental airlines cheap flights Teriyaki beef and a shrimp kabob, crab cooked continental airlines cheap flights with a garlic cream sauce, and also you can have lobster, cut in the middle and grilled on the barbeque. And my favorite fish is a swordfish, broadbill, deep, deep water, grill it tender, and oahu, iono.
PHILIPPE: Most of your hotel are remote continental airlines cheap flights too, which you need to take a shuttle to go to the islands, or to go out from the islands. But here we are on the mainland, means the guests can go out easily, for shopping, for tour, for walking, for jogging.
