Vacation Views, Anyone?

I have more than an hour before the clinic starts and more than five hours to decide whether I should suffer muscular fatigue and adrenaline boost with our contemplated sports activity this afternoon.

I can not hide my anticipation for my last few months in India. It has been almost a year since I went home or was home in the Iloilo, Philippines. I could just savor Batchoy or the endless array of sea foods at Tatoy's or the Bulalo at theMarina's....and the cold San Miguel beer! I mean, common! If this is something that you don't look forward to, I wonder what is!

Salivating from that thought, I was thinking where I should be going for my remaining holidays. Sure, I do have 89 days left ( to be exact), but I still have 14 days (excluding weekends and official holidays) left to soak my liver up to the possible limit it could take.

So, where would I go? There are very limited places that we can go (as Filipinos) that doesn't require a visa. Let's look at the possibilities.

1. Bangkok. It's about 400 dollars round trip from Calcutta, but I could fairly say that the "been there, done that" dictum plays here. I have been everywhere and anywhere in Bangkok and have had the "experience" to last me a lifetime... (Considering I have 21 lives, I might go back again and again)

2. Kathmandu, Nepal. Think of the movie The Lost Horizon. Olivia Hussey in Shangrila. Wow. I just need to pay 35 dollars visa fee on arrival.

3. The Maldives. Beach-y. But according to some reliable sources, I would need someone to "be with" and watch the sunset. Heck I want to be drunk! Maybe those size-challenged tourists would like nicer...

4. India. I haven't been to Rajastan and Ladakh and Pondicherry. I would love to -- but I am so sick with the Indian food!!! Sobra na, Tama na!

5. Dubai. Requires visa and would be the perfect place to lounge the whole day in the hotel room ordering room service, surfing the internet and watching tv. Oh, of course, they have amazing man made beaches.

So there..

I have to close this. I have to go and save the world.

Don't tell anyone I am superman.
