Where would you rather be this Holiday Season?

If you were to choose where to spend your holidays this year, and money and free time is not going to be a problem, where would you rather be? In an authentic Swiss chalet where you can experience the Alps and have yourself a winter wonderland holiday vacation and cozy up in your relaxing bedroom with your loved one and have a sumptuous holiday dinner with friends and loved ones in a lovely restaurant and enjoy some Swiss specialties such as cheese and meat fondues. It is situated in the city but also a stone’s throw away from a lovely lake. Or would you rather be in a tropical private island in the Bahamas staying in a Cuban style house where you can have a very restful and idyllic stay with the sandy beach available to you and your family and friends anytime. You can enjoy a BBQ and even have an al fresco holiday dining experience in its beautiful courtyard garden. Two different locations in two different types of weather and atmosphere both ideal holiday vacation destinations but again, where would you rather be?

The mega-yacht Christina O

Yachts have been a style statement by the truly rich and famous people in the world. Unlike a car, that almost everyone in developed countries can afford, a yacht is something that truly only the upper crust of the society can afford to have one. The megayacht Christina O may not be as expensive and luxurious as the new yachts of today, like Paul Allen’s Octopus and Larry Ellison’s Rising Sun, but this yacht is certainly as famous, if not more famous than the two mentioned yachts. Its history and popularity is undisputed, after all many crucial decisions and deals are finalized right here in this very yacht. It is the yacht formerly owned by Aristotle Onassis, the leader of the original jetset crowd and whose name is almost synonymous to money. He named it after his only daughter Cristina Onassis. It is here that he entertains the most influential and famous people during his time like Maria Callas, Eva Peron, Jackie Kennedy, Winston Churchill, John Paul Getty, Prince Rainier and Princess Grace to name a few. Take a peek at the splendor and elegance of this super yacht.
