C "Riding that curl like a pro"/"Being mistaken for an America’s Cup yacht captain"/"Killer mid-summer goggle tan"!

D "Hitting the city’s major art galleries and wandering the late-night indie gallery circuit, making friends and maybe scoring a once-in-a-lifetime find from a mid-career artist that I’ll love forever."

2. "I’m toting one bag for my wardrobe and one extra one for…"

C "My sports and adventure gear."

D "Souvenirs from my culture (like magazines, snacks, ice wine minis, notebooks, postcards, books of poetry, tee shirts, etc) to share with my new friends. Once empty, I’ll pack the bag with my finds from another culture: (like magazines, snacks, regional wines, notebooks, postcards, books of poetry, tee shirts, etc)."


3. "My perfect vacation breakfast consists of…"

5. Finish this travel thought: "When I splurge on a big trip, what I’m investing in is…"

A "Personalized VIP treatment whether it’s the perfect table at a lounge, or cabana service on the beach, or an extra-swank suite. If you can’t have luxury everyday, may as well find it on vacation!"

B "Amazing experiences and unusual discoveries I can’t find at home, whether cultural or retail. This can mean spending a bit more sometimes, but hello:  the ubiquity of mid-priced global brands means you need to try a bit harder to find something no one else has, or eat somewhere that doesn’t have the same "modern Continental" menu as back home."

C "An outdoor adventure requiring a certain investment of effort, skill and savoir-faire to indulge in. I don’t want to be fighting for space with hordes of tourists from a nearby discount package resort. I want the insiders’ surf break, the unmarked forest trail, the undiscovered reef…"
