Travel writer Bob Payne has been to French Polynesia in the South Pacific often enough, a dozen times or so, that he feels comfortable thinking of this spot along the shore of Cook’s Bay on Moorea as his office. It’s at the Club Bali Hai, where the Bali Hai Boys made their last stand.
Bob Payne’s travel writing about French Polynesia have found their way into print in, among other places:
Brides magazine Summer 2003, where he reminded honeymoon couples who were considering souvenirs that tattoos, like wedding vows, would last until “death do you part.” In addition to Moorea, French Polynesia islands mentioned in that story include: Tahiti, Bora Bora, Huahinie, Tikehau, in the far-removed Tuamotus
Bride’s magazine Nov/Dec 2003. in which he pointed out to honeymoon couples headed for Tahiti and the rest of French Polynesia that except for “I do” there may be no two words more evocative of romance than “South Pacific.”
