There would have to be if you are required to update a blog.

Unless they have you blogging by message in a bottle format.

I have no idea, but I would buy as many as I could here and bring them with me somehow.

Can't say I'd pass this up but there has to be a catch...Hmmm Maybe you have to feed sharks? Make sure the island monkeys get love? :D

If they fly me out to a deserted island, they better allow me to bring whatever I want

Also, the job is not yours, it is mine!

That's ironic.

At one point of my life, I worked in a 5 star French restaurant outside NYC and was asked if I would like to work in Hamilton Island.

I went through the application process and was told that there was a freeze on hiring and never persued it further.

That place looked awesome...
