It's the economy, stupid....

I know what you're thinking..with rising gas prices, unemployment, health care costs, and other issues, how the heck can one afford a luxury vacation? Very true, and as Clinton/Gore said during their 1992 Presidential campaign, "It's the economy, stupid"! And that's exactly the point! With a struggling economy, now is the time to plan a luxury vacation as you can get the best deals possible without having to take a second mortgage on your home.

Planning such a vacation isn't about using Expedia or Travelocity to book your flights and hotels. Yeah, you'll wind up with decent deals but not GREAT deals. The trick to planning an affordable luxury holiday is to think out of the box, and that's what this blog will help you do.

We're going to discuss ways on to try to upgrade to business class flights or spruce up your coach ticket to a first class experience. We'll search for world class properties that are equavalent to the Ritz or Mandarin Oriental, but for less than half the price. I'll show you how to enjoy an amazing meal equal to that of a 3 star Michelin rated restaurant serves but spend what you may at TGIF or Ruby Tuesdays. I will also assist in shopping experiences that won't have you going to Gucci or Prada, but getting the same quality without spending your paycheck on a jacket.

As Robin Leech would say, "Welcome to a world of champaigne and caviar dreams"...but on a no-frills budget!
