You've been told that you have only a few weeks left to live, a month at the most. How do you spend your last days?

Oh, this one is easy for me. I'd travel everywhere on earth, staying in the most amazing hotels, eating at the most amazing local restaurants, seeing all of the world's most important historical sites.

Sounds exciting but assume you're not given any extra funds to that which you currently have. Could it all still be achieved?

If I avoid Europe, then the trip would be quite affordable since I'd be paying less than 10% of the price for airfare thanks to my travel benefits. The hotels would get downgraded... but I think that's about it. Local restaurants can be picked based on price.

What would you do?

the fundamental flaw with this type of question is that usually if you're terminally ill you're too sick to do a lot of the 'dreamy' stuff.

This is true if you're looking to do the 'dreamy' stuff but what if you were terminally ill and too sick. It's interesting to see what people would still try to do within the confines of one's bed or home. For example I've never been good at reading books from cover to cover. I think I might spend my last days writing as much as I could about my life and reading books from cover-to-cover.

I would spend time with my family in India, traveling around India, writing my memoirs, a history of my ancestors and community and catch up on books I never read or finished reading.
