Family Photos - French Polynesia
Warning! If you are not a friend or family member, you might be bored by these pictures of my parents, Jack and Marv Paull, and I. (Of course, you might be bored if you are a friend or family member . . .) Other photos of our trip (that show more scenery and less Paulls) can be found at my About Cruises Tahiti and French Polynesia Photo Album.
These photos were taken on our cruise to French Polynesia on the Renaissance R3. I thought family and friends might like to see us enjoying our trip.
(You'll need to click on each small thumbnail photo to enlarge it.)
This photo was made in April of 1998, not on our cruise. But isn't it a
great shot of both Marv and Jack!!

the R4, a sister ship to the R3 we were on.

Jack made this picture of Linda (in red shirt) making a picture of Marv (in

Marv and Jack in the Calypso lounge. Jack isn't really asleep, I think
he just blinked!
Marv with the volcanic mountains of Bora Bora in the background.
Marv at the black pearl farm on Tahaa. Rack on her left is where they hang oysters in the lagoon while they are producing the pearls.

We had a wonderful barbeque lunch on a small island (motu) near Moorea.

Linda and Marv on the Grand Staircase
Marv's first snorkeling trip. She did great! Bottom shot of these 2 looks like she is giving lessons to some of the others.
More of Marv snorkeling. She does the "dead man's float" very well, don't you agree!
Linda with a new friend she met on Moorea--a stingray! These animals came
up to us looking for food. They were quite entertaining. They are
very slick to the touch.
Marv loved to wear this hat! Sometimes it looked great on her (top
photo), sometimes it didn't (bottom photo).
