Going to Ibiza

I guess going from Siwa to Ibiza is a variation of going from a 10-day silent Vipassana meditation to a Ko Phang-An Full Moon Party. Everything in moderation - though as it were, I bracketed the Vipassana retreat with 2 FMPs. As a religious partyer though, this trip to Ibiza will be like doing a hajj to Mecca. Or should I save that analogy for Carnaval?

This likely will be the most costly pilgrimage I've taken. Take water for example. Knowing that I'll be downing a lot of water, whether in the clubs or out under the august sun, I find out that tap water is not an option. In the clubs, water is 8 Euros a bottle. Yeah. Furthermore, the DJ lineup during my stay leaves little room for downtime outside the dance floor. Here's what an Ibiza forum had to say about my scheduling dilemma. I think if I'm lucky and the magnetic strip on my Visa wears thin and malfunctions, I can keep it under $4,000 for the whole 10 days, all in. On my "normal" run rate, that would last me 4 months.
