<p>[I’m&lt;/a&gt; a celebrity, rent my island! - CNN.com](<a href=“http://www.cnn.com/2011/TRAVEL/04/14/celebrity.private.islands/index.html?iref=obinsite]I’m”>http://www.cnn.com/2011/TRAVEL/04/14/celebrity.private.islands/index.html?iref=obinsite)</p>

<p>The island could be yours, as well as up to 27 of your best friends, for just $54,500 a night – including free meals, drinks and wireless internet.</p>

<p>So who wants in?</p>

<p>( how can they say * free* meals with a straight face? )</p>

<p>Hey emerald, if you’re buying…I’m in!</p>

<p>Can four of my friends be Charlie and Donald, Emeraldkity4 and Busdriver11?

<p>Well, if 28 close friends each put in $2,000, that could be a great week.</p>

<p>Oh, wait – that’s $54,500 a night??!! Forgedaboudit.</p>

<p>No matter what kind of island it is, I can’t imagine that kind of a daily rate. How do you get 50k worth of enjoyment in a day?</p>

<p>As long as they have wireless internet…</p>

<p>And the meals are free!</p>

<p>sounds like the new toddler birthday party</p>

<p>Few summers ago, my sister had a crazy idea of renting an island off Maine for our family vacation. Of course, it didn’t cost as much as this. It also came with a cook, maids, food and wine were included (free). There was no internet, cable. We had 6 kids ranged from 10-18. By the end of the week, we wanted to kill each other.</p>

<p>It you want to go off to an island with anyone, better make sure there is entertainment or else you should like to spend 24-7 with those people.</p>

<p>I just spent a week at The Bitter End Yacht Club in Virgin Gorda, we sailed around Necker, I wish I could have seen a little more! A friend stayed there several years ago for a 50th birthday celebration, she said it was pretty amazing.</p>

<p>I think the parents who are launching their children into adulthood- and dealing with their own parents concerns deserve to have a little vacation & renting one of these islands sounds like just the thing!</p>

<p>I was attracted to my husband partially because he knew how to play & relax ( I was a little grandma) & my therapist would be happy if I rented a month in the tropics ( of course my bank account wouldn’t be)
sigh.</p>

<p>I guess I will have to scale it down.</p>

<p>Renting Islands…so passe and low brow…a country, THAT"S the way to go</p>
