The rich are different

Prince Albert of Monaco will be going to the Arctic in 2006, on an expedition to reach the North Pole that will duplicate his great-great-grandfather's attempt in 1906. He'll be flying in a Boeing business jet which will carry the expedition team, equipment and supplies including seven sleds and 40 sled dogs. It appears Boeing will donate use of the plane.

“We are truly excited and honored to play a role in this historic expedition,” said Steven Hill, president of Boeing Business Jets. “The spaciousness of the BBJ and BBJ 2 allow Prince Albert to travel with his entire support team in the same degree of comfort, luxury and style to which he is accustomed.”

Hope it lives up to the dog's high standards as well.
