The 10 Commandments of Luxury Travel

Posted on 06 July 2009 by anthony

Luxury Travel.

It’s not something I do very often – or maybe, at all for that matter!  But Luxury Travel is something others only ever do.

Recently, I wrote a post of the The 10 Commandments of Tight Arse Travel , and I can relate to these commandments more!

But to be fair, I’ve also devised a list of 10 Commandments for Luxury Travel as a companion to the Tight Arse Ones.

These commandments are for the type of people who spare no expense and would spend in one day what I would spend in one year travelling.

Here they are:

  1. Thou shalt view a baggage limit of 100 kilograms as rather unreasonable.
  2. Thou shalt bring a shoe arsenal that is at least equivalent to that of former Philippines First Lady, Imelda Marcos.
  3. Thou shalt ensure there is a new, clean, ironed outfit ready for each day one is away from their primary abode/mansion.
  4. Thou shalt rack up expenses on one’s credit card that are equivalent to the Gross Domestic Product of a small island nation.
  5. Thou shalt view that any accommodation under $2000 per night as ‘slumming it’.
  6. Thou shalt obtain a Dolce and Gabbana piece from every place visited in the world – even if the item is available at home.
  7. Thou shalt interpret ‘cattle class’ on an aeroplane as a place where ‘those poor people sit’.
  8. Thou shalt view that dining in the 5 Star Hotel’s award winning restaurant as representative of local cuisine.
  9. Thou shalt view spending $20 for bottled spring water as ‘good value. And finally:
  10. Thou shalt never obey the 10 Commandments of Tight Arse Travel.  Ever.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed these 10 Commandments of Luxury Travel.  If I’m lucky enough to score a large lottery win, I might come close to obeying one of these.

If you have any others, please suggest them by leaving a comment!
