Travelling from the mountains of California, a western U.S. state. Flying across the North Pacific Ocean down to the South Pacific Ocean beaches of Rarotonga. Barry and his partner Ricardo have returned for the second time to our Polynesian shores. "Aere Maru - Let's not rush, just sit back relax, unwind and enjoy," says Barry.

Barry shares with us when in 2019 he came across the direct route that Air New Zealand offered from Los Angeles to Rarotonga. He decided to book airline tickets for himself and Ricardo.

Barry reminisced about how his Californian dive buddy ends up in Papeete, Tahiti and asks Barry to be his best man - of course the wedding was to be in Tahiti! Barry flys to Tahiti in July 1976 to his first and there after many French Polynesian holidays.

To Barry and Ricardo, I appreciate our new friendship. See you both again one day.
