It’s Saturday – It Must be Seminyak
I was up kind of early on Saturday, not wanting to to wait too long to leave Ubud. Quite frankly, the longer I wait to leave Ubud, the more difficult it is. I didn’t have a driver, so simply walked outside the hotel to find a couple of guys hanging out there. They asked if … Continue reading
Friday is For…
Well, after another massage at Lily Spa, Friday was for lunch at Copper Kitchen (yup, had all 3 meals there) and more shopping. My lunch at Copper Kitchen was the Cheeseburger Sliders (black Angus beef, organic tomatoes and chipotle mayonnaise), followed by the Cereal Milk Panna Cotta (chocolate cookie base, coffee crunch). The sliders were … Continue reading
No Photos!
Though I took plenty of photos, as per my usual, they were NOT compliments of the scheduled photography tour. After someone from Honeymoon Guesthouse picked me up from A.’s house the night before and after getting up extra early to shower, pack my camera equipment AND have breakfast, the photography tour guide did NOT show … Continue reading
Bali, I’m Back!
The Wednesday morning Air Asia flight to Denpasar was without incident. It wasn’t the freak fest that it had been last year. It still felt strange landing at the new airport, which completely lacks the true Balinese ambience of the old airport. My luggage took forever to show up on the baggage carousel, but I … Continue reading

Whereas, in the past, Honeymoon Guesthouse would serve breakfast on your terrace at … Continue reading
An Oasis of Serenity

You can contact him through Mr. Rasta Transportation (62-831-1803-985). We’re friends on Facebook, too, so that helps as far as my getting in touch … Continue reading
My Sorry Excuse
As you may have noticed, my blogging dropped off soon after my vacation started. Things were going alright to begin with in Koh Samui. When I got to Bangkok for the one night, I had every intention of blogging. My laptop was out & opened up when a visitor dropped by the apartment. Well, said visitor hung … Continue reading
Return to the Land of Smiles and the Island of the Gods
Even though cruising the Greek Isles briefly crossed my mind as my major vacation for later this year, it would still be much more expensive than going to Southeast Asia. Thus, my plans are to return to Thailand (but NOT over-touristy Phuket) and, yes, to Bali. I’m willing to give Thailand another try – in … Continue reading
