Obama Is Holed Up Writing His Book On The South Pacific Island Of Tetiaroa
Marlon Brando used to own it.

After a brief layover in Hawaii, former President Barack Obama is hanging out on a South Pacific island for a month to write his White House memoir, according to the Washington Post.

The island, called Tetiaroa, is an atoll located in a group of French Polynesian islands. Its closest neighbor is Tahiti, which is roughly 30 miles away. Not only is it super private and exclusive, it’s also gorgeous:

Hello, paradise!
The island was once owned by actor Marlon Brando, who bought the property while scouting locations for his 1962 movie, “Mutiny on the Bounty.” A decade after Brando’s death in 2004, the property was acquired by hotel company Pacific Beachcomber and converted into an ultra-luxurious resort called The Brando.

Obama is reportedly staying at the 35-villa resort for most of his month on the island, and its eco-friendly reputation keeps in line with his own high environmental standards. According to its website, the resort eventually hopes to be 100 percent energy independent ― fueled by solar panels, generators powered by coconut oil and a contraption that converts seawater to air conditioning.

Rooms start $2,800 per night and some are as expensive as $13,300 per night, but the amenities are simply outrageous. And considering Barack and Michelle Obama recently inked a book deal worth a reported $60 million, they can afford to splurge a little.

Not too shabby.
If Barack decides to bring the whole family along for part of his stay, The Brando is both super family friendly and all-inclusive.

“This is an ideal resort for families as well as honeymooners and clients seeking seclusion,” Dan Ilves, senior vice president of Travel Store, told The Huffington Post for a previous story. All activities are included and for those interested, there is an onsite marine research center.”

Other activities include snorkeling in a coral garden, swimming in a magical place called Mermaid Bay and enjoying the resort’s incredible spa.

Looks perfect for paddleboarding and snorkeling!
Getting to the island isn’t exactly easy, but it’s safe to say the end result is worth it.

Just copy the Obamas’ mode of getting to the island. Fly into Tahiti, then hop on a short, 20-minute flight to Tetiaroa.

The fact that one of the few people alive that will always be protected by the United States Government got out of the country as quickly as possible after Trump got sworn in is a really scary thought.

not really, I don't think he left because of Trump. He just needed a break from America after 8 years as a Black man holding one of the toughest jobs on the planet.

Remember when Obama before he left said he was going to stay in Washington to speak out and still get involved politically? Obama said "nah fukk that".:hubie:

And Obama staying as far away from the US? I don't blame him. I do think he'll be back in Washington at some point.
