Best Christmas Present EVER...

I heart Rue La La. I love just browsing and checking out different things each day. They have such a great assortment of pretties and things. Yesterday, I stumbled upon what Mr. Molly Lou is giving me for Christmas.

It was supposed to be a grand surprise, but I have stumbled upon his very merry secret surprise!

I'm sure you all are sick of listening to me dream of a vacation and list off all of the reasons that I really need a vacation. You will see why this is the perfect gift for me and a true necessity.

The best part is that I get to take 10 friends along with me (You see this grand prize gift vacation is for 12, but I guess I should include Mr. Molly Lou since he so generously gave me this gift and then myself, so it leaves 10 of my nearest and dearest to join in.)

Here is what my Christmas gift will include: extraordinary private yachting cruise aboard Safari Spirit is a once in a lifetime experience. The perfect vacation for families or friends who shun crowds, enjoy the outdoors and appreciate pampering. Safari Spirit offers four roomy guest staterooms and two Admiral staterooms with French balconies. American Safari treats you to the truly inclusive experience. From your arrival at the airport to a fond farewell, you're a pampered guest aboard American Safari yachts.
Remember your trip fondly with a complimentary photo CD and coffee table photo album that is also included. Enjoy gourmet meals, premium wine, beer and spirits, water toys and gear, and exclusive shore excursions with resident locals. Onboard Expedition Leader/Naturalist or wine expert. Airport transfers, port charges, taxes, and fees are all included.

The American Safari Cruises offers a complete spectrum of amenities and activities, all designed to make your voyage as carefree and varied as you'd like. The attentive crew sees to the smallest details, and each crew member is eager to take you on a great adventure.
The yacht's bar is stocked with complimentary microbrews, fine wines, and premium liquors. Fine cuisine, prepared by the yacht's executive chef, is served in the dining room at one sitting. Guests wear causal clothing to all meals. Dining is a true delight, with a cornucopia of fresh local seafood, just-baked breads, hearty soups, exquisite entrees, and sinfully delicious desserts.
Of course, the chef is happy to plan for any special dietary needs or cravings. Guests use the casually elegant salon to recap the day's activities, relax, read or watch a movie from an extensive video library on the wide flat screen TV. Throughout your voyage, you're accompanied by a knowledgeable Expedition Leader who offers timely narratives about the local history and wildlife, introduces you to local indigenous peoples, and keeps a lookout for wildlife.
Amenities and Activities: En suite showers, some with Jacuzzi tubs, full bathrooms with heated tile floors. Enjoy Tempur-Pedic® memory-foam mattresses, terry bathrobes and slippers, TVs with DVD players, iPod docking stations, book and DVD library,
Activities include board games, satellite phone service, binoculars, on-deck hot tub, steam sauna, exercise equipment, kayaks, laser boats, water-skis, inflatable skiffs, snorkeling gear and wetsuits. Hydrophones to listen to whales and other below-surface sounds, and underwater cameras that connect to a big screen in the main salon.

So, you will all agree that you want to head along on this FABULOUS luxury trip with me.

I knew Mr. Molly Lou loved me, but I had no idea that we were spending around $75,995* on each other. He is going to be in for a slight let down when he receives his gift.

Merry Christmas to me.

Sigh. Christmas is for DREAMING right?!?!?!?!

**I seriously want to meet the people that purchase this trip or any of the other LUXURY items that were featured. I'm sure this lovely trip is worth the entire $76000, and clearly the word RECESSION means nothing to them.
