    Completely Hypothetically

    This is a project that I have to do for my class and was looking for some help in doing this.

    So, let's say that you have the opportunity to visit an island for a week at absolutely no expense to you. The transportation, lodging, and activities for the week are covered. There are no laws on this island regarding drinking or the use of recreational drugs(I know this is iffy on TOS, so let's say no illicit drugs). Be creative, my teacher has essentially told us to be as ridiculous as we can.

    What method of transportation would you prefer? Cruise Ship, Plane, Submarine?
    What type of lodging? Huts on the beach, 5 star resort hotels
    Activities? Concerts(what performers), sports events, fishing, hunting.

    Keep it clean here for sure, as I don't want to ruffle any feathers or infringe upon the family friendliness of the site. However, if you have any ideas that are straddling the lines of the TOS just pm them to me.

    Re: Completely Hypothetically

    If its only a week i would travel light. a 5.11 3 day backpack. E tool,Hunting Knife,12 cliff bars, pain killers, collapsible fishing pole with bait and line,pocket blow torch, nylon rope,2 man tent,1 small pan with silverware, six 8 hour emergency candles, led flashlight, drinking straw filter system.

    Thats all i can think of right now with no planning.
    And to get there i would be air dropped in.
    On arrival i would find fresh water and someplace to fish. Then i would just explore and have fun for a week.

    You forgot a lighter or matches to start a fire and cook whatever it is you catch for that small cooking pan!

    This is a great idea to get your imagination going! Id probably prefer to do exactly Darkice said though. If I had a weekend free on a cool island id want it to have a completely balanced eco system. Id spend the entire exploring. No partying. Not when i could do and see something new every minute of every day exploring!

    Sorry...I did forget to mention something. It is targeted for the college aged crowd.

    My teacher did mention a survival type trip.

    Everything about my answer would be against TOS.



    Except there would be fishing.

    Re: Completely Hypothetically

    I'd bring my boyfriend and friends, and I'd like there to be a big casino/resort on the water. I'd go swimming, fishing, go to the spa, blackjack obviously...

    And hey, if it's a tropical island, it would be SWEET to go field herping with a knowledgeable guide!

    Oh man... when are we leaving?? I'm ready to go now Who's with me??

    Big Gunns agrees completely.


    On a side note. BG was just fishing on an island recently.

    I thought it was a vacation type thing...?


    Im staying at the 7 star top floor over looking everything with a wrist band for drinks, and Im sitting on the beach with some foo foo drink that has an umbrella. And Im naked. Then Im going to take out a waverunner and enjoy it until I see a shark fin and then avoid water at all costs. Later Im getting some shorts on and going to the club where an all star performance consisting of all my favorite musicians will be interrupted by Kanye West saying their show is good, but Michael Jackson had the best show of the MILLENIUM! Stumbling back from the show Im going to enjoy a deep look into my soul by licking the bark of the local tree. Groggy and worn out Im going to stumble to the beach where I will take my place on my comfy lawn chair, order another foo foo drink and pass out on the beach with it in my hand, forgetting that I have a room and sleeping on the beach....for 7 nights straight. Id prefer to travel on a unicorn that ****s my name in stars.
