Sounds great. I was wondering what to do with my extra $66,950.

@ Rich Tour Rat…it STARTS at $66,950, so I’m sure it doesn’t end there either. It’s a good thing I have an extra 100k, haha

Without the unecessary cushion, you could do the same trip, in a much longer timeframe, for infinitely cheaper

Sure, you could do something “similar” for cheaper, but that’s not the point of a private jet tour like this. These kinds of trips take advantage of special routing that get you from point A to point B without inconvenient layovers and airport hassles. Plus, every seat is business class. You also get the advantage of travelling in a group of like-minded individuals under the watch of expert guest speakers and guides. For the itinerary and under the time frame, these tours are an amazing bargain. An experience that has to be had to be understood. I’m jealous of those that get to travel on this tour!

“An amazing bargain” for $66,950. Sorry,Kenny starting at $66,950.. I try to limit my vacations to a $1200 a day, so maybe I’l have to hold off until Mickey gives out scholarships. Hahaha. Do you think he’ll rap Fire on the Mountain at the Bali show?

Mickey is annoying.

This is something for rich people! I heard he’s going on Romney Tour next!

Whiney babies. Appropriate name #6. I can’t even afford Telluride this year, but I’m thrilled for whoever can afford and will appreciate this trip of a lifetime. Thank Jerry? In case you haven’t noticed Mickey’s done it on his own since before Jerry passed. His contribution to saving world music (on his own dime) is priceless and probably thanked by Jerry

The 1% drum tour. 67k sounds like a bargain but me along with the other 99% are trying to get our bills paid this month..and keep our jobs.

Tom April 26, 2012, 11:48:27

Yes, Romney is going to go and strap his dog to the roof of the jet!
