 | | How I survived 30 hours of travel (without losing my mind) | | A few months ago, Lonely Planet asked me if I wanted to spend ten days on a press trip to Tahiti. I said of course, although at the time I was not sure, exactly, where Tahiti was. I look it up. It is near New Zealand, but not actually near.
