This is interesting guys... ;)
often we speculate starting line with our first destination where they both have some sort of connection..
now that we know both locations:
1. Griffith Observatory
2. Tahiti
Now, my thesis is that there's a connection between those two in terms of the astronomical occurance,
The transit of Venus occurs when the planet Venus passes directly between the Earth and the Sun

Public Viewing of the Transit of Venus
Tuesday, June 5, 2012
3:06 p.m. - 8:02 p.m.
(Building Open 12:00 noon - 10:00 p.m.)
What is the transit of Venus?
The transit of Venus occurs when the planet Venus passes directly between the Earth and the Sun. During the transit, Venus will appear as a small black dot on the face of the Sun. Historically, this alignment permitted the size of our solar system to be measured. After this transit, no transit of Venus will occur for another 105 years! So if you miss this transit you will have to wait until December 11, 2117. The last transit of Venus occurred on June 8, 2004, but was not visible in Los Angeles. In fact, no transit of Venus has been visible from Los Angeles since December 6, 1882.

Don Task:
If there is the flight from Tahiti to New Zealand via Rarotonga, what about a leg @ Cook Islands? That would be cool. It would be like...
Leg 1: Tahiti
Leg 2: Cook Islands
Leg 3 & 4: New Zealand
