While travel for most of us means heading to the airport, waiting on long lines, possibly stopping by an airport lounge before a flight and then cramming into our seats, how do the rich and famous travel to their destinations?

Airline amenity kits come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes & designs and are made by many different companies. The contents inside also vary from kit to kit.
I’ve received kits which were really bad, being not much more than a paper envelope with a few items inside (the worst amenity kit ever?) and have also received some great kits like the awesome and collectible Oktoberfest inspired kit from Lufthansa.

Last year I wrote about an event called The Naked Sledding World Championship which took place in a small town in Germany.
This definitely sounded like it had the makings of an extremely bizarre event. Some of you might wonder why the event would take place in Germany. But then you might remember that it’s legal to get naked in Germany. They also won the world championship for nudity.
