April 15, 2005 Hotels on the Edge So you got a fat tax return. Now what are you going to do with it? Before the IRS changes its mind, maybe it's time to get out of L.A. -- way out. Here are several severe slumber spots that transform your humble hotel room into an extreme vacation.
	One If By Land: Sure you can drive up the coast and stay in the Madonna Inn's Caveman Room. Or you can fly to Turkey and stay in an actual cave. More specifically, a restored eighteen-room troglodyte cave house. Gamirasu Cave Hotel, Cappadocia, Turkey, is just that. Glam rock? Maybe not.
	Two If By Sea: Some folks try hard to get into the Mile High Club. But for all the people who can claim to have done it in the air, how many people have done it underwater? Scuba dive down 30 feet to Jules' Undersea Lodge, Key Largo, Florida, and forget sex on the beach -- go deep.
	Up in the Trees: Can't get over that boyhood desire to spend a night in a treehouse? Kerala, India boasts a Treehouse Hotel in a lush rain forest. Or you can stay closer to home, but still in trees, by trekking up to Oregon for the Out 'n' About Treehouse Resort in Takilma.
	An Icy Freeze: And we can't forget the coolest one of all. Remember to bring your thermal underwear for a stay at Scandinavia's famous Ice Hotel in Jukkasjarvi, Swedish Lapland.
