Top 3 Vacations I’d Go On If I Were Rich

Most of us work about 49 weeks a year, with a week off for sick time and two weeks off for vacation. Those two weeks on vacation are the best 14 days a year for a lot of us. I used to work in a travel agency and while it wasn’t like going on vacation every day, it did expose me to all sorts of trips I’d like to take (if I were rich). So here’s my countdown: #3: All-Inclusive Vacation ($120-$400+ per night)You don’t have to be super-rich to go to an all-inclusive resort. Someone leaves for their honeymoon at Sandals every day. You don’t have to worry about car rental or where you will eat, and best of all, you don’t have to think about your budget for a single second of your vacation. While Sandals Resorts have definitely become “mainstream” and lost some of their appeal, there are good reasons why they’re so popular. They have huge pools right on the beach (for those who don’t want to get all sandy), some of which feature swim-up bars for people who want to get their next mai tai without having to worry about drying off.
And they offer private suites with their own small, secluded pools. If you’re looking for a Honeymoon where you rarely (if ever) want to leave the room, this is the way to go
They also offer pick-up service and free use of the beach and pool at other nearby Sandals Resorts (if you’re staying on an island where there’s more than one). But those pictures weren’t as fun, so here’s another private villa:
#2: Crystal Cruises ($300-$1,300 per night)Ok, you’ve been on a cruise…but have you been on a Crystal Cruise? This ultra-high-end cruiseline is just about the definition of luxury. With almost as many staff on a ship as there are customers, your every need is catered to round-the-clock.
Unlike some other cruiselines, the casinos on the Crystal Serenity and the Crystal Symphony are not just rooms that smell of old cigarette smoke with 50 slot machines jammed in. Designed with the help of Caeser’s Palace, Crystal Cruises’ casinos are a fun place to play some poker, craps, or (your favorite game here)
While you won’t find a rock climbing wall or a mini-golf course, a Crystal Cruise is not for you to bring the kids. It’s for you to vacation like a king.
#1 Private Yacht (Rent or buy: You can’t afford it)Have a billion dollars and not sure what kind of vacation you want? I’ll tell you, you want a private yacht off the coast of Greece…preferably with a hot tub.
So your rich and you don’t like sunbathing on your vacation because you’re a little pale and overweight? Afterall, while everyone else was at the gym or the beach, you were making your billions, so you shouldn’t be expected to look as good in your swimsuit. Private yacht has you covered…do you notice any truck drivers on this deck?
No, you don’t. And your super-hot trophy wife will forget all about that good looking construction worker she used to date, when your having breakfast as you pull into port.
