If you really want to come up with a totally unique vacation idea, how about renting your own private island?

Did you know you could even buy one?

Well, you can do either and I’ve found a web site where much of the research has already been done for you – Private Islands Online.

Now don’t turn away because you think one must be a millionaire plus in order to ponder an island of your own. Granted, many of these islands are high-ticket items, which should come as no surprise. If money is no object or less of an object for you, maybe the island of Dinna Cay in the Bahamas…
