This is the question that seems to be on my mind all the time while we search out a good getaway for the winter holiday. Lately the focus has been on the Philippines because of the short distance and relatively low cost. A lot of the islands in the Philippines are isolated, and there are some good chances that you won’t have power some times, and internet access and other first world fundamentals may not be anywhere near. But for some people that is the attractive point.
One of the areas we are considering for a trip is near where they film Survivor. Apparently not just the American version of Survivor, but there are Survivors for five or six other countries. Interesting. I don’t know if I’m ready to bump into Jeff Probst on my holiday, though.
Last night’s Costco run was a success, and tonight I’ll be staying up late waiting for my wife to come home. She has to be on study hall duty, which means getting home past nine. It’ll be a quiet night of exercise, salad, and maybe some reality TV. I think the slow pace of Thursday suits me well.
