Expensive Vacations

[danalwyn]

The world's most expensive hotel is now due to open in 2012.

A three day stay in the new Galactic Suites will cost you $4 million dollars a person. On your stay you, and up to five other guests, will get to experience such wonderful events as being able to stick to the wall of your room using velcro, a rather unremarkable diet, and being able to watch the sun rise fifteen times a day. The three-bedroom complex is placed so that it orbits the Earth once every eighty minutes, allowing panoramic, weightless views of the blue planet which the rest of us call home.

That $4 million also includes an eight-week training camp, and a trip both there and back again. The shuttle that takes you will also stay docked to the hotel during the time you are there, allowing you to make a hasty departure if necessary. But the prices are nothing compared to Space Adventures, which expects to conduct the most expensive window tours ever, taking tourists on round-trip tours of the moon at $100 million a head, as early as 2009.

If you hurry, you can still make reservations at GalacticSuites.

Do you think they'll take post-dated checks? ;)

Since I suspect that they're planning on the early registration money to pay for putting the thing in the sky, I doubt it.

You could always try and see if they let you get away with it.
