So there are tons of places on my list but I've been itching to go to New Zealand, from what I've seen its really fucking beautiful.

But then I was watching the travel channel last night (which is sad in its own way) and this came up,

Welcome to Petit St. Vincent Resort | A Private Island Resort in the Caribbean

this little 100 acre island in the Caribbean that is nothing but a resort. There's only 22 cottages spread out along the island and there are no phones, no TV's, there's not even a phone to order food, you just raise a flag and leave a note and the staff comes by and gets it and brings you your stuff. I would like to spend a month there. Its like 600- thousand dollars a night

Don't mind me I'm just fucking bored and sick of doing the same fucking thing every day. Maybe we should invade the Amir Khan forum
As an American you're pretty lucky in that there's so many cool places to visit in your own country. I consider myself pretty well travelled and I'm lucky enough to have been to some pretty fuckin awesome places yet the only places left that I really want to see are Stateside. Maybe to an American seeing more of America isn't exactly adventurous but it's definitely something I want to do.

I totally understand the appeal of some remote island retreat but It's not something I'd personally pay $600 a night for. That kind of money could go sooo much further in say SE Asia (such as Thailand) or South America...

That appeals to me right now, I guess its a state of mind thing. I'd like the peace and quiet. I guess since right now I don't have the money to do it regardless I'm not too worried about the price.

I am thinking of setting my mind to winning the lottery. I'm already sick of paying student loans.
