P Is for Predicament

By Emily Cale

The scene in front of the Majestic Himalayas Resort was the kind of thing most people only saw on a postcard. For obvious reasons. Starting with the thirty-three hours of airline travel. Add that to the four-hour drive to the nearest big city, and I knew exactly why most people stopped before they got here.

Besides, there were plenty of good places to visit in the middle. Greece came to mind as the perfect place to vacation this time of year. Beaches, good food and plenty of eye-candy. I’d been before and always swore I’d eventually make it back. Not this trip though. As much as I enjoyed the Mediterranean, it wasn’t the kind of place I wanted to go to get over a broken heart. For that, I needed quiet, a few bottles of scotch and plenty of thinking time. A five-star lodge in India seemed like as good a place as any to do that.

I’d wanted to come here for years, even brought home brochures to stare at. The only thing keeping me from going through with it was that my boyfriend Dillon couldn’t bring himself to agree to the prospect. Maybe that was why he was now my ex-boyfriend. He always said it was because he didn’t want to deal with the looks a gay couple would get in a country that had barely managed to make it legal for such things to exist, but I knew it was because he was scared of the actual travel.

Plane rides gave him anxiety attacks, and three different intercontinental flights would have frayed his nerves until they were past repair. Looking at the building I was standing in front of now, I would never guess I’d actually spent that much time traveling. The architecture reminded me of a chalet in the Swiss Alps. Except it was a little taller and had some Hindu influences that couldn’t be found in Western Europe. I didn’t know a single place in Switzerland that had a statue of the elephant god Ganesh next to the drop-off area.

I’d almost canceled this trip several times. Right about the time I discovered the first of my ten-hour flights didn’t include any sort of entertainment, I’d put some serious thought into getting off and purchasing a ticket to anywhere else. Or maybe even home. I could get over a broken heart anywhere that didn’t remind me of Dillon. Then again, this trip wasn’t just about healing. I wanted to do one of the many things I’d never been able to do while in a relationship. Traveling topped that list. He thought it was a waste of time and money. No matter what the cost, I planned to prove that it was worth every cent.

Too bad I’d never get the chance to rub it in his face.

All that hassle was made worthwhile in the first seconds after I stepped out of the car I’d hired in Delhi. The crisp mountain air was a nice change from the stench of the city.
