Hand of the King posted:My wife and I are going to Bora Bora soon and I have some questions. We're staying at the InterContinental Le Moana Hotel for 5 nights in the overwater villas. We've never been travelers and this is the first time traveling internationally. The island looks to be small and touristy enough for everything to be very obvious once we get there (is it?), and we're kind of just going off of to-do items from tripadvisor and blogs. Jesus, y'all picked a hell of a place to pop your international travel cherry. I haven't been specifically to Bora Bora, but everywhere else I've been in the first world, you'll be fine with VISA and/or Mastercard for 99% of things. You may be able to get cash before you leave; if not, go to a bank when you arrive and get some there. I don't think USD will be accepted in most places, but euros probably would be if you want to hedge your bets. It looks most hotels have both 110V and 220V (Europlug) outlets, so you probably won't need plug adapters, but you might consider buying one just in case.

Hand of the King posted:Oh Jesus I had totally forgotten about the outlets. Ok, I got ordered a couple of euro round pin plug adapters. Thank you for mentioning that! I'll probably just use my Chase Preferred card when I'm there since there is no foreign exchange fee on that card. Oh, this reminds me: pack whatever you can that you might need or want on your first day in your carry-on. When my friends went there, their luggage was lost for a few days, and poo poo's loving expensive there. He's irrationally attached to his $50 flip flops now.
