Sleep in a tree: They’ve got pools and wi-fi now, you know.

Sleep with the fishes: By which we mean in an underwater room, not in the manner of Luca Brasi.

Be a little more like Cristiano Ronaldo: Or at the very least, make him even richer by staying at his Libson hotel. One or the other, or maybe both if you hit the on-site gym?

Take your time getting wherever you’re going: Trains are still elegant; you should enjoy them.

Surf Texas: Simply because it’s a thing you can do now in Austin.

Commune with snow monkeys: There’s also sake involved if you’d rather commune with that.

Learn to heli-ski: Don’t worry, unlikely British ski Olympian Eddie the Eagle will be with you. And if he can do it...

Go green: One of these breathtakingly verdant vistas is waiting.
