Oh yeah, that's right, we checked out what, in Greg's opinion, is the crown jewel, the best, the number one island in Polynesia: the Island-Nation of Niue. 1 island, 1300 people, lots of nature. This place is amazing!

Oh and they have INTERNET! Real, actual, oh wow it doesn't take us 10 hours to send this freaking monthly email INTERNET!!"

If the tropics keep calling your name but the yacht thing ain't for you, then this article might really open your eyes:
