Essential Luxuries
(with comments)

In these tough economic times, it's important to get your priorities straight. Todd Rome, president of Blue Start Jets, lists his Ten Essential Luxuries.

  • Louis Vuitton Luggage
  • Summer in the Hamptons
  • The Dorchester Hotel, in London
  • A Gulfstream IV private jet
  • A classic British-made Alvis Convertible
  • Ray-Ban Aviator sunglasses
  • The Magic Cocktail resort at Musha Cay, Bahamas
  • Peter Luger Steakhouse, in Brooklyn
  • Polo Matches at the Bridgehampton Polo Club
  • A Blue Star Jets Hamptons-Heli Card

That list is not much different than mine. I'd skip the polo matches, though.

    Uncanny --it's like we're twins or something.

    He is clearly a "New world" traveler who likes the USA wherever he goes. Perfectly fine, but I recommend the Connaught Hotel for anyone visiting London. Head and shoulders above the rest. They are currently running a special offer of UKP 445 a night.

    It makes civilized life possible in these demanding times.

    What, no fried bologna sandwiches?

    If The Dorchester and the Connaught are such great hotels, why do visiting royalty stay at Brown's?

    LOL. #10 is self promotion... and the whole point of Todd's post.

    The best part of going to a polo match is stomping divots during halftime (or whatever it is called).

    Just be certain you're stomping a divot, not horse crap.

    That's why Michelle doesn't walk Bo on the Whitehouse lawn. Her designer heels make too many divots.

    I got the all. Except 2 - 10. But I once saw a Louis Vuitton bag.

    Isn't "essential luxury" an oxymoron?
