I know you have all been desperately worried indeed as to my welfare in the South Pacific but I have to reassure you that I'm bearing up under the pressure of life here. I left Huahine this morning and I am now on Raiatea for four days before heading down to Tahiti and Moorea for my last five days. To add to my burden a friend on Huahine has upgraded me to first class on the flight to Los Angeles from Tahiti; I tried desperately to fight it but I was no match for him and I had to give in. Please forgive my pitiful attempts.
