Magical Mo’orea – a Stay at the Hilton Mo’orea Lagoon Resort & Spa

January 6, 2019 by Dave8 Comments

Words that come to mind when referring to the island of Mo'orea include ethereal, mysterious, remote, undeveloped and exotic.

At the time I was working to develop my photography hobby into a potential career, and D.C. seemed like an excellent place to get some good practice shots. I was currently learning the settings of my first DSLR camera and some entry-level techniques for capturing images. I was no Mike Carano, but as I played with … [Read more...]
