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…"
D "The best seats in the house and the chef's own tasting menu. Period. End of story."
6. You know you're in the right place if my chance celeb encounters could include the likes of…

C Adrenaline-pumping sports followed by dopamine-triggering s-e-x
D Exciting cultural pursuits, luscious cuisine and plenty of him-and-me time in a first-class hotel suite.
