Bastille Day is July 14 and a very fun day and evening on island. Fireworks from the Fort are pretty amazing. My (unconfirmed) dates are 13-22. There is a star-studded contingent on island during the month on July, too!
Update on the pearls; Aimee sent me 2 items, a necklace and matching earring's. They were a HUGE hit and even had to place an order for my MIL last week for some other pieces. Her contact # in the States is 850 231 4692. She will email you pics of what she currently has in stock as all items on the site my not be available.
My wife got a single-pearl necklace on SBH a few years ago which she absolutely loves. Strangely though, she has never received a single complement on it. But who cares?!?!? She's wearing it for the memory, not the compliments!
My necklace just arrived from La Vie Est Belle in Seaside-- I love it! I promised a picture but now I'm too shy-- my tan has faded (i.e. my tan in a bottle has washed away) so instead, here's the link to the one I got-- it can be worn in these 4 ways: http://jnwmignot.com/tahitian/signature.htm
