My new second home

Bali!!

I think Random, monthly trips to this location are in my future!

My first trip there was a 5 day weekend, and it just wasn't enough time. It was lovely to be close to the beach again and to see Blue skies and breathe easily....things that can't happen in Jakarta. I spent hours in the sun on the beach, saw beautiful sunsets, ate amazing meals, partied on the beach, stayed in a huge villa, relaxed in the midst of the rice feilds and missed many other experiences that I will have to return for.

I think it is completely mind blowing that at any moment I could buy a ticket and be in Bali in less then 4 hours! Most people will never make it to this beautiful island. And others will save for months/years to come for a week or two, never to return. And then there is me....I used to dream about taking a trip to Bali, and now....now I can go this weekend if I want....it's like hopping over to Chicago when I lived in South Bend, or Columbia when I live in Pawleys Island....Amazing!

I am Blessed, and I encourage everyone to meet me in Bali so you can see what I am talking about....
I think I'll be in Indonesia for awhile, so plan a couple years out and start saving!! ;)

Here are some sights....

Traditional balinese Fire Dance....(can't remember real name)

 no instruments...the men did all the singing and created all the music vocally
 The Dancers
 The Rice field behind our Villa in Ubud...so quiet and serene!
 Bali Sunset @ Potato Head's...
