Holy crap. Sometimes I just run across news that I absolutely have to share. Have you ever been on a cruise but wished you were actually on a cruise in the sky? If the answer to that is yes then you should look into getting a room on the world's first Hotelicopter.
I am not making this up. This HUGE helicopter is a reconditioned, Russian made Mil V-12 and is a fully functional flying hotel. There are 18 spacious rooms complete with all the accommodations of a 5-star hotel and, although specific prices have not been released, will probably cost more than Barry Manilow's right leg. It even includes a full-service spa called the Skyspa! Its maiden voyage is scheduled for this summer.
Now I am not sure if this will revolutionize the way people start to take a vacation, but I am pretty sure it's a good alternative for the billionaires who didn't get to go to space.- Chad
P.S. Holy crap, I still can't believe this is real. My 12-year-old geeky side is having a heyday.
***UPDATE: The inaugural tour is scheduled to start June 26th, 2009, according to the company's Twitter account***
