Some more on Bali...

We had a wonderful time. It is so hard to choose between all the pictures and express what an amazing place Bali is. I wish it was closer because I'd take my girls there in a second to experience the culture and people of Bali. It helped so much that our girls were happy at home with their grandparents. I heard so many good things from the teachers at their schools and how well they adapted to being with the grandparents and how secure they felt in their relationships with them. I think the best word to describe Bali is peaceful.

We stayed at Villa Puri Bawana. It was a bit worrisome while driving to the villa from the airport and wondering if our driver was aware of where he was going and looking at the villa from the street...it didn't quite match the photos. Of course David immediately starts chanting "perception meets reality"...as funny as that was it was a little disheartening because we had already paid to stay here. However, we drove about 100 yards down the street and through gates and the entire staff opened up the doors to the grounds...it was amazing and gave us a great phrase to throw back at David the rest of the vacation. Here's a short video of us being greeted. I apologize for my very unsteady hand.



We didn't realize the villa came fully staffed. It wasn't ever explained to us that they would do all the cooking, cleaning, laundry and plan any other events we may need. They were an amazing group. We enjoyed learning from them about Bali and we hope they enjoyed us just as much.

I'll be adding pictures...I've been getting some remarks that I haven't updated our blog in awhile.
