Antulang Beach Resort: Holidays are Forever! From Illustrado
By Krip Yuson
Now, wouldn’t that be nice? For most of us, however, it would take a Grand Lotto win to fulfill that dream — of dropping everything that has nothing to do with rest and recreation, and embark on a holiday for the remainder of our lives.
Oh, it need not only be during the Yuletide season when we’d feel generous, with everyone and then ourselves. Hand me millions, preferably in six figures, and not in lira either — and I’ll show you how much of a Santa I can be the whole year round.
And while sharing the bounty, well, so will I just as generously indulge my own yen for non-stress pleasure, by traveling to places I have yet to experience, and returning to those that already hold good memories.
Tambobo Cove hosts a hundred international pleasure craft at any time of year
A world cruise I would take in doses, if only to preempt satiety. Two-three weeks here, two-three weeks there, from St. Petersburg to the Hebrides, the Galapagos to Macchu Piccu and Iguassu Falls, Bhutan and Easter Island, etc., book-ended by cruises in the Mediterranean, Aegean, Caribbean seas. And each time a sked is completed, why, back home to Metro Manila I will fly, if only to reaffirm how I may now smile over the vagaries of road traffic or shenanigans in governance, what with fresh memories of an Alaskan iceberg or samba dancers at Rio de J.’s Mardi Gras.
And when the political grandstanding or air pollution once again threaten the sense of equanimity, one recently energized by yet another first-class fix that has stamped global vagabonding with yet another sampler of an endless summer, why, right here in our islands may be found — so easily reached — pockets of paradise, enclaves of nirvana, outright oases.
