And for my next vacation

[pbray]

I never knew I wanted to do this, until I saw the news story this weekend about Zeppelins over San Francicso. As soon as I saw it, I found myself calculating that I could use my reward miles to fly out to California and book a hotel, so all I'd have to pay for was the actual zeppelin flight. And hey, that's only $500 per hour (or $1K for 2 hours).

Or I could blow mega-bucks and have a private tour for myself and 11 friends for a mere $6K.

I know it's outrageous, but it's a Zeppelin!

I hope I'm one of those friends. *grin . . . blink, blink . . . grin*

Wouldn't it be awesome? I'd feel like a character in a James Bond movie.

Or we could have the most fantastic booklaunch party ever, and drop copies of our books with teeny tiny parachutes all over the Bay area.

Wouldn't it be fun?

It would be awesome. Even cooler than the time my friend S got to ride around in a Forestry helicopter in northern Alberta.

Because it's a Zeppelin! And I'm fairly certain I'd need to wear a hat. Or a monocle. Or maybe both.

Plus the Zeppelin folks would let us drink champagne during the flight, while I assume the Forestry service frowns upon such things.

Exactly.

And because it's a Zeppelin rather than, y'know, an Air Canada plane, it will probably even be good champagne! And the glasses will be made of glass!

It sounds totally awesome!

The article says that they are considering New York city area tours by 2010 or 2011, which would make it slightly less insane. That is if they don't go bankrupt first. Sadly this isn't the greatest time to be launching a luxury tour service.
