Another good site that does something similar is skyscanner.com
For example, here are all of the flights from SFO: http://www.skyscanner.com/flights-from/sfo/cheapest-flights-...

I was recently in Dubai and they had pictures of it superimposed in cities around the world. Check out how massive it would be if it were in San Francisco: http://www.flickr.com/photos/steven_maher/4444617588/

I volunteered at the Island School 4 years ago. I can attest that it is a beautiful remote spot. I was there helping out with their summer camp for middle schoolers and also working on some construction projects around the campus. I'd go back if I had the networking experience. Depending on my mood I found it peaceful or lonely as it is very isolated and I saw only 50 people total in the 1 month I was there. Other thoughts on my experience:
Pros - Warm tropical weather, great location right on a beach, great food cooked by locals everyday, friendly staff and students, interesting sustainability projects, pretty good library, great sailing, diving, and kayaking
Cons - No hot water (we did morning exercise that made this more manageable), lots of mosquitoes (I did get used to them after a week or so), the island (Eleuthera) is fairly small so not too many places to go and explore
