LOL I did a bit of googling too, I didn't think Hawaii was the most isolated chain of islands in the world? Random. Hope you're having fun!

I had never been and had no idea that they were supposedly the most isolated island chain on the planet. It was in the guide book and I still had to confirm it with a google myself. Who'd a thunk it? Found it confirmed a bunch of places online, though. Aloha!

Well, while I'd certainly be well-suited for the Island of Misfit Toys, it has the same problem as Easter Isle. It is only one island. Plus, like Easter Island and the Isles of Tierra del Fuego, they are all close to something. How long did it take Rudolph to get there? Two clicks from the North Pole.
While JJ had the most creative answer (never saw that show. Why were there no people of color on that "world boat?" Hell, there was even a yellow Power Ranger!) Becks, while not 100%, was actually the closest.
Hint? I could walk down to the beach each day and be welcomed by a statue of "The Duke."

Strat, Easter Island is just that, one island. He said a group of islands, although he didn't say it was tropical, could be anywhere up to and including and isolated grouping of islands in a large lake, or sea? Too many places to guess from such a vague hint.

My guess is the Easter islands. For a start, just tell if I guessed the right hemisphere.

Flora was what every traveling parent would pray for on both the flight there and the flight back. Slept the whole way mostly, only woke up one time on the way there and as soon as she had her bottle, she went right back to sleep. She was such a good baby that people actually congratualted us on how good she was the whole plane trip. I don't usually give Olympic much credit but for this I will. They had these little baby basinettes that locked into the wall of the partician in front of our seats, and I put her in her little crib and she went right off to sleep.
I don't blame you for sleeping at the airport, had I been alone I would have done the same as I would have been sound asleep on the floor long before the time we reached our hotel.

Three days in the same clothes and sleeping in the airport. That sucks! I thought it was bad when Olympic ran to late for us to catch our connecting flight and we had to stand in line with our luggage and Flora at 7 months old for 6 hours. Finally got put up in a hotel for the night which we didn't reach until midnight, and had to be back at the airport by 5:00 am. One ruff day witht he jet lag setting in hard.

Tell me about it. I missed a connecting flight while traveling to Berlin (Vail at that time= noob when it came to traveling multiple flights). That really sucked. Had to stay the night at Newark International and arrive a day later than planned. Lost my luggage in the process too, and while it was found, I had to wear the same clothes for another two days. Best part is that I was the first to get to class in the morning...directly from the airport.
As for your question, without googling...ummm...the Antilles?
