Did you go over on the Bounty?

I'd love to travel French Polynesia in this. It's half freighter and half cruise ship and does a few week trip around the islands that most of us will never see. We flew Air Tahiti like this to Bora Bora instead. The Bora Bora airport is actually on the reef surrounding the island than in the island itself - the airport shuttle is a boat.

I'd consider it the ultimate cruise

The Mixed Passenger and Cargo Ship Aranui 5 - Aranui

Most of the trips are the Marquesas. Looks like there is one per year listed as

I've had my eye on it for some time, but I think it's a no go with the wife. She still grumbles about one trip home from Japan on Continental Air Micronesia. That was a 727 that island hopped across the pacific - places like Saipan, Guam, Truk, Majuro, Kwajalein, Johnston Island. We spent a couple of days on Guam and then several more on Truk. The thing that really made me the villain was that a huge storm was moving into Hawaii when we got there, so we had to move on. So I "deprived" her of a Hawaiian vacation ... wife logic that no doubt you know all about.
 
The Rams released a video of Bennett throwing a couple deep balls...some underthrown in a 15sec video.. and every Jawja fan including Joe and Kirby Smart was on there jawing like he is Peyton Manning. Unbelievable...

Kudos to the several posters who pointed out that Bennett left GA WITHOUT a degree after 6 plus years on campus at age 25...and that the WR had to both wait for the ball etc...

Heres my response, you can use it to read the thread...hey, GAs punter commit is even there....

I admit that I killed one DeWalt battery with a defective DeWalt charger. Got smoke but no flames. I'll also admit I got stupid and didn't trash the charger (thoughts of repairing it) ... and then a couple of years later mistakenly used it to destroy another battery. The second incident was just short of flames. I got smarter and got rid of the charger before I could get stupid with it again.
You’re out of control.
 
Ham
Movie theatre popcorn (bc I load it up with the fake butter they use)
Ice cream cake.

3 things I know are gonna mess my stomach up all to hell, but I’ll eat them anyway. Some things are worth the pain.

Maple syrup and breakfast sausage
Honey roasted peanuts in a bottle of coke
Raisinettes in movie theater popcorn

Chef Dink at your service.
