What’s Hot: Marlon Brando’s South Pacific Paradise
After yesterday’s verbiage—sheesh! I’m wiped out!—I’ll try to keep it short and sweet. There are rumors milling that Tetiaroa– Marlon Brando’s private atoll in Tahiti—will be an exclusive eco-resort in 2008. The Brando (as it’s been dubbed) will require a $40 million investment, as there’s no electricity or running water on the island. I wonder if there’s a line already queuing for the 30 bungalows?
There is a more in depth article which can be found at:

I wrote it back in August when CNN Travel did a spread on it. Sounds pretty funky to me.
I haven’t had the opportunity to go to Marlon Brando’s atoll. However, I spent two weeks in Tahiti, Bora Bora and Moorea. Most romantic and relaxing vacation I ever had.
On The Waterfront
Please keep me informed as to progress. I would like to be first in chasing the lizards!
