expensive vacation

Lift-off for woman space tourist
BBC, 9/18/06

"Ms Ansari, a 40-year-old US citizen, is thought to have paid at least $20m (£10.6m) for the mission."

Bon Voyage Ms. Ansari. You've slipped the surly bonds of earth. I am quite jealous, hopefully Richard Branson & his team at Virgin Galactic will be able to lower the fare by a few million.
