You're stranded on an island for 2 years - Which one would you choose?

[yvr girl]

It's a perfect world, (other than the fact that you're stranded) so let's just say that money is not a problem.

[RollergirlVT]

1. the big isle

I really like black sand beach.

[arwalden]

2. Manhattan? Oahu? Tahiti?

[yvr girl]

6. You've got to pick

I'm torn between Manhattan, Bora Bora and Maui myself, but I'm choosing Maui. Yes, Maui.

[IronLionZion]

3. Australia

[yvr girl]

9. Good choice

It's a very big island.

They do talk funny though.

[BoX o BooX]

4. Any island where I can be guaranteed of being alone.

People are no goddamn good, and I don't care to see another person as long as I live.

[aden_nak]

5. Angelina Jolie. Oh, wait, you meant what island. Hrmmm.

Whichever one Angelina Jolie is on?

[aquart]

7. Manhattan. Why leave?

[yvr girl]

12. I've seen the poster

A New Yorker's view of the world. Yes, Virginia, there is life outside of Manhattan. Although, it's a fine place if you have some $$

8. Is this another "Ginger or Maryanne" question?

:shrug:

[Phillycat]

10. Yeah, I think Manhattan.

Hawaii is beautiful, but I'm an East Coast girl. I couldn't live in paradise with no city filth for 2 years, I'd go crazy.

[politicat]

11. South Island, New Zealand

Yes, it's cold. Yes, it's remote. Yes, I'd get my next two novels finished.

[catzies]

13. Key Largo

:P

[XNASA]

14. Lord Howe Island

It's supposed to be the most beautiful island in the world. So I hear.

[calico1]

15. Manhattan! Great shopping, great food,

great theater and entertainment. And a mixture of all different cultures. Wonderful!

[pres2032]

16. one of the Micronesian Islands

sorry, don't know names.

[flowomo]

17. NANTUCKET.... then the next president will be my neighbor....

Hi, John, can I borrow a cup of sugar?

[name not needed]

18. Manhattan

Plus I can always swim to Jersey City and hitchhike home.

[yvr girl]

20. Not allowed

You're stranded. No summers in the Hamptons either.

[HEIL PRESIDENT GOD]

19. Alameda?

At least my friends could come visit and bring me books.

[The Sushi Bandit]

25. I went to Encinal HS in 1970!

Never made the yearbook!

22. The Island of Misfit Toys

With all of my friends. How many can you name?

[SarahB]

23. Something warm, isolated, and almost deserted.

I posted a thread a few months back ( http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=1151385 ) expressing a large amount of frustration in life and just wishing to get away from it all. Now, more than ever, I feel the same way. Don't want a crowd though. Just maybe one other person to come with me at this point in time. I don't need to be pampered (willing to build a mud hut, fish, etc.). I just need to fly away right now and avoid civilization and the majority of humanity for a few decades. :grr:

24. Maui No Ka Oi

Maui Nö Ka `Oi - by Rev. Samuel Kapu

Hanohano launa `ole
A`o Maui la i ka la`i
Ha`aheo na kualono
A`o Maui no lä ka `oi

Hui:
`A`ohe lua e like ai
Mahiehie launa `ole
Hia`ai wale Haleakalä
A `o Maui nö lä ka 'oi

Makemake e `ike aku
A i ka ua Lani Ha`aha`a
Me ka wai anapanapa
A`o Maui no la ka `oi

Famous, unbeatable
Is Maui in the calm
Haughty mountain ridges
Proclaim Maui the best


Chorus:
There is none like you
Charming beyond compare
Delighting in Haleakala
Maui you are the best


I desire the sight
Of the rain Lani Ha`aha`a
With its sparkling waters
Maui is the best
