Looking at the brochures for a vacation was just like looking at fast food menus where everything has anything on it. Most destinations are familiar by sight (T.V.) and sound-my ears hurt from numerous and endless details of those who have gone…its like I have been to a place because I've explored it through relatives and friend's eyes.

Wonders of wonders a page from a magazine featured French Polynesian island New Caledonia with a picture of a tree plagued resort with blue waters up till the horizon. Now where is this, I wonder? The New Caledonia is part of the South Pacific islands that enjoy beach weather even in winter. Now how's that for you? I know I wouldn't mind being there this winter…more like a December festivities and sem-break rolled into one.

There are 5 things do when I get there…
Diving- next to the Great Barrier Reef theirs is the next magnificent one. Snorkeling just ain't the same without some corals and marine habitat flourishing.
Tour by Horse- this is a 3-day adventure on horese back going aroundNoumea (the capital) and her scenery peppered by trees and Norfolk Pine.
Parasailing is another pleasure the island offers…flying feet above the island…Great!
Take a dip in the waters of their beach. I don't know but beaches have their own distinction sometimes the sand and the way the sun shines down on you make a remarkable  difference.
After all's said and done the last would be to try every morsel the island can offer all fresh from the sea.
Might as well brush up on some French- its their language there.
