Getting hospitalized in a hotel

A month ago my friends and I were planning an out-of-town trip. I got excited over the idea that in Tagaytay a tarpaulin advertised cable car and a zip ride (something like rapelling) as seen by friend Dette. Like in any outing, the cost needs to be known and for many days we tried to know how much the 'damage' will be. It wasn't in the net, and nobody seemed to know how much the cable car/zip ride tickets are. So we just settled to spend October 12 in Quezon City. That day was also the feastday of Our Lady of La Naval so I scheduled the funday Sunday into morning Mass and pilgrimage there, lunch time in Trinoma or The Block, a treasure hunt after lunch, and back to La Naval for the procession.

Rachel was joining us for that day. But the Thursday before, her initially a check up activity became an urgent operation. She had to go under the knife! The schedule was again revised. In the morning we visited her in the hospital instead.

It may look like we guested in her hotel suite but actually it was her hospital recuperation room. No wonder foreigners flock Asian Hospital for medical tourism.
