After a failed attempt at a decent birthday on yesterday, due in large part to the visitor I mentioned in the last post, I managed to salvage my day on US west coast time by indulging in 3 hours worth of spa treatments. No need to go in to detail about my birthday madness but I will say this.. I will no longer be picking up strays during my travels. 😐 Continue reading
My thoughts exactly!
My time is Bali has been OK so far. As I mentioned before Kuta and Seminyak seem to be overly touristy with bars and nightclubs and a whole lot of things that I’m just not really interested in for this trip. Continue reading
Landing in Bali
As you can see I’m quickly making my way around Asia. I arrived in Bali yesterday and the place was packed! I had already read that the taxi ride from the airport to the town that I would be staying in would be $7-10 but when you hear the price in local currency (Indonesian Rupiah), 70,000, it sounds ‘spensive.

I had a gut feeling the day wasn’t going to go as planned but starting your day off with negativity is a recipe for disaster so I brushed it off and carried on. I got myself together and made my final calls to my Mom and Grandparents before heading down the street to wait for my “luxury” airconditioned minivan to Malaysia 😐 <— this face means that some BS is about to occur….
