Halcyon Jets is offering its cusomters a $1.5 million exclusive Valentines’ Day giftpack offer to add to the cost of their Valentines’ Day flight packages. The giftpack for the special someone, called the ‘Dream Date’ package, includes: a $1.25 million Tiffany’s emerald and diamond necklace; a $215,000 bottle of the world’s most expensive perfume, Clive Christian’s Imperial Majesty; a bottle of vintage Krug champagne, Noka chocolates, and a set of Louis Vuitton monogramed luggage.
Passengers on the Dream Date will also have personal concierge service and the most luxurious dining and entertainment experiences available in the skies. And, I repeat, it’s $1.5 million on top of the cost of the flight itself.
At $1.5 million it’s actually a lowered-budget gift offer this year compared to Halcyon’s previous $5 million charter card offer during Christmas last year. Apparently the card didn’t actually sell, and predictions are that this Dream Date offer won’t either. Halcyon Jets, however, continue to declare such extravagant possibilities to show the world their position as a luxury aircraft with plenty of flexibility and exclusivity.

“I think in a hospital people should get better service even than in a five-star hotel because they’re worried,” said Gerard van Grinsven, President and CEO of Henry Ford West Bloomfield. “They’re concerned, they don’t know what’s going on. They don’t know what impact it will have on their jobs, their lives, their families.”
Such was the motivation behind the $360 million project that will be the Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital in Oakland County, due to open next month. The hospital interior has been designed with Feng Shui principles, luxurious and warm furnishings, and the comforts don’t even stop there.
Each of the starting 192 beds in their own private, sound-deadened rooms will have flat-screen TVs, wireless Web access, and serene views of a beautiful pond. The beds are expected to grow to 300 within two years, and 450 when necessary.
The hospital has also collaborated with upscale grocer Papa Joe’s of Rochester and Detroit restaurateur Matt Prentice to create organic, sustainable and tastey meals for its patients, staff and guests.
Possibly the greatest new feature of this hospital, however, is a 90-seat fully modernized kitchen auditorium which will host healthy cooking demonstrations in partnership with culinary students from nearby Schoolcraft College.
“What they’re trying to do, and I think they’re going to achieve, is a new way for hospitals to relate to patients and families, a new kind of work environment and a new way for that facility to relate to the community,” said Rick Wade, senior vice president of the American Hospital Association. “I think we in health care need to play a much more active role in educating and being those community centers, rather than being those typical, traditional hospitals.”
By March 2009, the Flamingo Las Vegas will have the pleasure of welcoming their guests with the addition of a Sin City Brewing Company bar near the hotel’s entrance and its 15-acre pool. The bar will be the second of this relatively young, yet totally hip, new brewing company, and will feature bright red furnishings and multiple plasma screen televisions.
Sin City beers boasts themselves on capturing the Las Vegas experience and producing great taste, “using traditional methods, premium raw materials and a strict adherence to the Rheinheitsgebot, the 1516 German beer purity law that differentiates Sin City beers from the big guys.”
The beers are exclusive to Las Vegas and come in four distinct flavors: Weisse, Light, Amber or Stout. Weise features clove aroma and citrus undertones; a great summer beer. Light is, well, as the name implies, light beer. Amber is a micro-brewed lager with full-body malt character. The Stout is a traditional Irish Dry Stout, with coffee-like taste and hints of chocolate, and a very dry finish.
Created by luxury property developer Ravenspur Investments, the Palmetto Bay Resort in the Placencia Peninsula in Southern Belize is the first eco-luxury resort in the Caribbean Islands. Featuring geothermal solar and water filtration technologies, the resort contributes towards water conservation, as well as financial conservation.
“The green aspects of our development were created to provide a saving on maintenance and consumption while leaving as small an impact on the environment as possible,” said developer Carlton Watson.
Water is saved due to underground water holding tanks installed to catch the used water from showers and sinks. A separate tank has also been installed to capture rainwater, which replenishes the pool.
The resort has two and three-bedroom condominiums currently for sale, starting at $300,000. There is to be a fitness center, business center and health club as part of the resort experience. The luxury homes will also feature fully equipped gourmet kitchens.
If you’re in San Francisco and have $745 that you want to spend on yourself and your sweety, then hurry in and book a trip on an Airship Venture, where you fly in a Zeppelin NT airship over the San Francisco Bay Area. (Tickets are selling out fast!)
For a really lush gift, however, especially for the man who loves his planes and flying, there are Zeppelin flying lessons for $2950 per session of about 30 minutes of student piloting in an approximate 4 hour journey.
Airship Ventures is owned by aviation fanatics and husband and wife team Brian and Alexandra Hall. Brian was inspired by his very first ride in a Zeppelin in Germany, and always dreamed of owning his own Zeppelin. Airship Ventures was first launched in 2007, and has been host to many treasured and memorable events such as weddings, birthdays, and cancer survivor celebrations.
More journey routes and special deals may be found on their website; customized options may also be possible.
