A splendid splash of 118 islands glittering in the South Pacific like a tossed handful of emerald and sapphire gems, that's French Polynesia for you. It's a place where palm trees waltz and shimmy to the rhythm of the wind, coconuts act as your alarm clock when they thud to the ground, and tropical fish just can't keep a secret. And oh, the skies here must be artists, because only Picasso could think up clearer renditions of blue. Really, the only thing wrong with this paradise is that, alas, no one's figured out how to FedEx a beach...yet.
