I love this post! It raises attention to the fact that everybody has their own idea of luxury, too. This is something most people don't consider, as well! A lot of people will just rent a hotel without considering the more expensive options; sometimes, it can be rewarding.
After all, I was told by many people as a child that I would always regret the things I DIDN'T do, rather than the things I did.
Anyway, luxury travel is what makes travel fun in the first place. You deserve to be pampered when you're on vacation; if you can afford it.
