Every year, the Corpus Metus crew jet off for a week of relaxation, team building, and stark terror.  DS106 FM, our parent company flies us all expense paid to Sagada, Philippines.  At first, our general manager Paul Bond purchased the tickets because the vacation package was cheaper than Cancun.

In Sagada, Rose likes to explore the caves for the remnants of the locals, uh, I mean the locals’ stories.  Gory usually spends her time on the beach trying to get video of someone being devoured by sharks.  I, on the other hand, prefer to rappel down the Coffin Cliffs.

Well, this annual ritual has grown on us (like the tuna sandwich someone left in the bottom drawer of the filing cabinet).  Since the first trip, we’ve added a team building exercise.  The exercise is different each year.  Last year, for example, we drugged a tourist from Australia and dropped him off in one of the caves in the jungle with his hands tied behind his back.  We taped GoPro to him, of course, so we could watch the whole thing.  This year, I want to see if we can hide a small child in one of the coffins.

I think that’s all for now, folks.  Have a pleasant vacation.  And remember: If you find yourself vacationing in Sagada, don’t accept drinks from American radio show hosts!

My dream vacation would take place in Cancun, Mexico with my son and daughter. We would swim with the Sharks and go snorkeling. I would love to go deep sea diving to see all the beautiful fish and underwater plants. Me and my family would go speed boat racing  and then we would go and do karaoke. I would go swimming, then relax and fall asleep on the beach and then eat lots of delicious food. Last but not least, I would shop until I drop in all of the island shops and boutiques.

When you wish upon a star, your dreams will take you…
It doesn’t have to be very far. A place – on a beach or in the mountains with family and close friends would be the ideal dream vacation. Mornings we would wake with a dazzling sunrise and a cup of hot tea. Then it’s a walk along the beach, stretching and moving into the day. At the beach we would swim with dolphins and snorkel in the underworld, catching sight of colorful exotic fish and waving seaweed. We would hike to the mountains exploring nature at its finest. At the mountain top is a spectacular view that stretches for miles into the distance. A day isn’t complete without good food, family and cheer. Family style meals of delectable foods from Italy, Thailand, France, America, China, and Germany are some of my favorites. It’s time spent with friends and family, reminiscing about old times and creating new memories that makes it all worth while.

My paradise!
