[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]High class travel to me would be going places that are historical/educational and/or off the beaten path. Something like a safari in South Africa, going to Patagonia or Lapland.

Then there’s old money travel. That’s going to Mill Reef, Little Dix Bay or Lyford Cay in in Caribbean. Skiing is at Vail or Jackson Hole. For summers, it’s spending the month at your family’s house at some small New England enclave that most people have never heard of like Dark Harbor or Fenwick.

Any schmuck with money can go to St. Barts or Nantucket.[/quote]

You have to own on Nantucket, and Sconset or beachfront Dionis at that, renters don’t qualify.  Mill Reef requires membership too.  Own in Jackson Hole.  Friends in Argentina for hunting.  There are safaris and then there are safaris and the real ones involve 3 or 4 generations of pictures on the wall.  [/quote]

+1 Nantucket is very old school. Same with Mill Reef and Lyford. Little Dix isn't that way. Neither is Vail or JH both of which have tons of hotels and can be pretty pedestrian.
And the safari point is huge.  Very big difference. All the old wasp families I know do the multi-gen safaris which are crazy and insane (only their family at the entire reserve etc)[/quote]
