Looks like fun.
Are you in? 
If I had the cash,Hell yeah.
I hear you as I would be cashing in on my children's college tuition. Though it gives me goosebumps to be at the mercy of nature and so close to extreme peril.
You know how people spend energy on fantasy baseball teams and such? That never really appealed to me but I was thinking as I was outside in my new lounging lawn chair this afternoon, what if we started like a fantasy travel club?
I propose each member of this club gets $100,000 to spend on each fantasy vacation. Each could spend more, of course, but that would have to come from personal fantasy funds but the club will provide $100,000 fantasy dollars for each adventure.
Each member of the club could could put to use their own specialty, like maybe Schade finds the most exotic and exciting destinations. Vonne seems good on coming up with the basic budget. I think I could be a pretty good trouble shooter and could swiftly attend to any challenges as they arise.
Members would be free to stay where Vonne, for example, recommended, or find their own accommodations. Perhaps they prefer a private bungalow. But none exists, well, in most parts of the world, it might be possible to construct a private bungalow for a fraction of the $100,000.
We could use an expert photoshopper for pictures. I could probably do a hacked off job, but who couldn't?
Anyway, it sounds more fun to me than a fantasy sports team. There aren't any way to use stats that I am aware of but members could keep a journal of the preparations for the trip, the trip, the destination, preparing to leave, and the journey home.
