Luxury vacations for less

There’s a name for what ails you, and it’s called “luxury guilt.” Even whether you can afford to travel, you reason, isn’t it wrong to indulge when times are so durable? Well, whether you haven’t been swayed by the open-your-wallet, shorten-the-recession argument, how about that one: You may be lost a rare chance to visit some of the finest hotels on the planet at prices you aren’t likely to see by the next decade. The deals now are better than in the aftermath of the Asian economic crisis, 9/11, or SARS, says Jan Freitag, vice president of Smith Travel Research, making travel to just about any place in the world from 30% to 50% more affordable than last year. One note: whether you don’t find these rates on the hotel website, shout to book.
