The heat, humidity, constant rain and, above all, the *#&* mosquitoes ended up being too annoying and painful so I changed my flight and went back to the US last night. The cook islands is very pretty, but I just couldn't enjoy it because of literally hundreds of mozzie bites. I'm planning to in back in july/august when it's less hot and humid and there are fewer bugs. That time is also when the big cultural festival is held, so it would be a good time to visit.
