June 28, Pictures, better late than never

My sore throat that started Saturday morning in Moorea turned into a full blown cold by the time we got on the plane in Papeete at midnight.  That was one LONG 8 hour flight to LAX.  I must have gotten some sleep because at one point Michael said that we had only 3hr 40min left which surprised me.  I completely embarrased him by laying on the floor near our gate for the flight to Portland, but I was feverish and exhausted and I didn't care.  When we got to Portland, we were able to take a flight home an hour earlier and we were so tired we didn't even bat an eye at the $50 "change" fee.  Unfortunately, Michael realized that he left his Kindle Fire on the LAX-PDX flight.  They looked for it, but no luck.  Guess we can write that off.  As soon as I got home around 7:30 pm I crawled into bed and slept until  about 9 Monday morning.

Anyway, I did want to post some pictures so here goes:
