Several years ago, while waiting in the checkout line at a grocery store, I saw a magazine with “Places to Go Before You Die” Theme. On the cover was a photo of a gorgeous island landscape. Steep, tropical mountains rising out of teal blue water. I opened the first page to see where the photograph was taken- Rarotonga, Cook Islands.

I’d heard a little about the Cook Islands while living in New Zealand, but never really seen what they looked like or even where they were, except for a vague understanding that they were somewhere in the South Pacific. After seeing that magazine cover, I was sold. I promised myself I’d go to the Cook Islands someday.
