[KukiAirani682]

I too am Rarotongan and im related to the king through my mums dads mum who married us into the royal family. too me its a privilage but you dont get treated with royalty over there. your treated like another local. I love it there and miss it greatly. :(

[rophiny]

I am Rarotongan and can't wait to go!

Oki Mulhane is my grandma, and her mum was married to the chief :)

[bartolemeo]

My congratulations then, Rophiny. I truly enjoyed my time on your island.....a beautiful place with beautiful people. I look forward to returning there soon.

[rophiny]

I hope you enjoy it! (: but don't say it's my island. because they've died now. and I don't think it's "my" island, i think it's the "peoples" island.

[bartolemeo]

I'll keep it to myself, that it's your island ;))) when I'm there, I take good care of it.

Very beautiful video, really like tropical places :) It's too cold here in chicago..

[bartolemeo]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I hope that the weather in Chicago lightens up a bit. It's been brutal in the north this year.

[bartolemeo]

Thanks. Yes, Kevin Spacey does the song justice and really respects the man. Kevin's a wonderful actor.

[caroljbowie]

spectacular experience!

[bartolemeo]

I'm glad. It certainly was for me :)

[dunlapgal]

Beautiful!

[bartolemeo]

It is a wonderful place. Thank you, I'm glad that you enjoyed it.

[joytriangle]

Beautiful pictures, looks nice and relaxing :)

I need that after I almost got ran off the road today (literally). Driving in CA sucks, I want a nice sandy island, stat!

[bartolemeo]

Southern CA?, because the north used to be a bit more tame. Here in NC they just tailgate you at 80mph and destroy the car from behind when you have to brake quickly :) I'm glad that you enjoyed the photos. I hope that they were counter-traffic therapy.

[joytriangle]

Yeah, southern. People up in the north drive too slow. Peeps down here tailgate all the damn time too. The pics were some nice therapy :D

[bartolemeo]

Be safe and stay home! Cars and Dumpsters and Helos, Oh My! ;)

[bartolemeo]

That is surely the place.

[hillbillygill99]

[bartolemeo]

Enjoy. I was hoping that I could pass a bit of the experience on.

[geoff2o9]

love to go there

[bartolemeo]

It's well worth it. I need to plan a return trip.

[Gigolo8]

Now this is worth a subscription to see more! And sharing about too. Hehehe, looks a lot like around here in tropical Oz though.

5* for great content and sharing it with us.

[bartolemeo]

Thanks very much. I look forward to a trip to Oz before too long. I've been wanting to make that trip for a long time.

[MagicShadeMask]

I agree with Pippilly, I also watched this in full screen and it was magnificent. It looks so beautiful and peaceful.  Thank you for sharing.

[bartolemeo]

You're welcome. Arranging it took my mind off the drought for a while.

[Pippilly]

The pictures are so awesome I watched this in full screen. what a perfect song to go with it. That was an absolute pleasure to watch.

[bartolemeo]

I'm glad. As soon as I started browsing the images, I could only think of Bobby's song for this.....timeless stuff.

[adnerb924]

I've never heard of Rarotonga before. It looks like Puerto Rico, the beaches, the flora...it's so familiar to me :o)

GREAT slideshow , it's so cool when we find old pictures!

[bartolemeo]

Amazing place, not too far from NZ. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[bartolemeo]

I'll bet that Puerto Rico is beautiful. The photos that I've seen are amazing.
