Couple’s Romantic Tahiti Trip Turns Dadcation Disaster, Memories Made Anyway
KEY POINTS
- •Jenna DeLaurentis and her boyfriend booked $600 round-trip flights to Tahiti less than two weeks before departure.
- •Due to last-minute planning and family availability, her boyfriend’s dad joined them for a week in Mo'orea island.
- •They stayed in a budget-friendly Airbnb with one bedroom and two beds, balancing couple time with family bonding.
When Jenna DeLaurentis and her boyfriend stumbled upon a $600 last-minute San Francisco-to-Tahiti flight, they say aloha—*but* also invited his dad to tag along because #CheapFlightsAreLife. This unconventional trio spent a week in French Polynesia’s riotously romantic Mo'orea island—snorkeling coral reefs, devouring local seafood trucks, and cycling in a ménage à trois. They sacrificed bougie overwater bungalows (their 5-star excuse: $100 Airbnb with one bedroom, two beds) that forced them into awkward sleep arrangements reminiscent of camp sleepovers featuring dad jokes. Despite the cramped quarters and a romantic vibe compromised faster than Wi-Fi on a tropical island, Jenna insists that, surprisingly, travel with in-laws is "even better than alone."
