TDY Gouge - Pakistan

Islamabad, Pakistan - If you ever get stuck at PAF Chaklala overnight, there is a one man TALCE crew that will take you to the Serena Hotel, about 30 minute drive. This place is the best kept secret in the AOR. Not only is meal per diem $63/day, but this place looks and feels like a palace. I would not wonder far off from the serena, but if you have plenty of time and need a drink, catch a ride to the AmerEmbassy (about 4 blocks away). Go to the only club/eating establishment on the compound (it is called the American Club). They have no limits on the alcohol consumption and relatively good prices too. Eat at the Serena unless you are craving American food (or you cant stomach the Pakistani stuff), then eat up at the embassy
