'Twilight' has ruined me. When this is all over, flying internationally is going to be very hard for me. It is just not worth it to buy a first-class ticket, because of the cost.
Land on Mars, a round-trip ticket - half a million dollars. It can be done.
Every time I fly first class, I'm like, 'Damn dude, this is sick!'
I don't think Canada is very inexpensive anymore. I travel there all the time; it's rather on the expensive side. I think there's significant risk to the Canadian economy.
A workday lunch that lasts as long as a transcontinental flight is an impossibility for all but the most pliant and footloose of food tourists. To get in the game, you need a thick wallet, an adventurous palate, and a whole lot of time.
There's a weird kind of paradox that the more expensive the vacation is, the more potentially anxiety-producing it is.
I can't imagine being in a tour bus. It would be nice, but I think it costs $30,000 a week to rent. And I can't imagine spending what many people make in a year on a vehicle for one week.
It's always been a luxury to be able to hop a plane to Paris, to Venice, to the Grand Canyon.
I'd love to fly, especially with the gas prices right now.
Golf is growing, and there are more good young players, but you don't see them going abroad. It's so expensive to travel.
When I get on a plane these days, I go first class.
The same way people are now paying a couple thousand dollars to fly to other parts of the world, people will be paying $50,000 to spend a weekend on a space station.
Africa is really a place for the wealthy traveler. It's got some nice hotels, but they're very expensive hotels. It doesn't really cater to the backpacker or to the overland traveler.
All tours are filled with humiliation. My publisher once hired a private jet to fly me to a venue where 1,000 people were waiting. It almost bankrupted him.
