On my last trip to the Virgin Islands, I ended up in the best restaurant of my life. Of course the bill came out to $200, but the meal was so memorable that I was happy to sacrifice quality meals the rest of the trip.

Rather than spend in the middle lane day in and out on vacation, get a burger and a salad here and there and go absolutely nuts at the highest recommended restaurant in your location for just one night.

You may cringe when you see the bill, but it's fun to dabble in life's highest pleasures every now and then.
