I pack up all the gear and just hang around until the boat's ready to go. I secretly wish the boat had sunk on the way here (with everyone surviving, of course) and we got stranded an extra day. I'm not ready to go back just yet. I'm just getting used to the deserted island life. It isn't so bad. In fact, it's great. Give me a satellite phone and some link Wi-Fi and I'm set. link I could stay link here for a long, long while.
The funny thing about the Monaco is that Steve McQueen got given six or seven of them when the watch wasn't selling, Elordi says (the playing cards now resting on link a side table).

I don't think I have that kind of appeal but I assume that's the mentality behind ambassadorship – the ability to speak to a generation or an audience."
Got it!
