Prince Charles "GREEN" Vacation

You have to laugh to keep from crying...Prince Charles has decided he must establish proper green protocols, lead by example in addressing Global Warming. To that end, he has decided to reduce his vacation CARBON FOOTPRINT by renting a 246 Foot Sailing Yacht for he and his wife Camila's 11 day trip, reasoning it's better than flying. The link to the boat is well worth a peek if you want to experience if you will (tongue in cheek) some Green Envy.

Prince Charles' Yacht Vacation

Prince Charles has said before that he's committed to the environment and to reducing his personal carbon footprint on the world, and for his latest trip it seems he's keeping to that promise. Next month he and his wife Camila are planning to sail around the Caribbean on the Leander, a 246 ft luxury yacht, for an 11 day trip that sounds like a mix of business and pleasure. The voyage will have them skipping around to several different locations and officials say that sailing in the yacht will result in reduced costs and reduced carbon emissions compared to having the couple fly each step instead.

The yacht, with huge richly decorated rooms and features like a sauna and hot tub, looks like a vacation in and of itself! And it is available for private charter -- if you've got the dough.
