Bali!




Hello from Bali!

We've made it finally to this little island in the South Seas! It was one heck of a long trip, but, we've made it and we're no worse for the wear. The first flight to Taipei wasn't so bad as we were sleeping and super excited. But, the flight to Denpasar seemed to last forever. We were certainly ready to be off the airplane. As you can imagine. Our drive from the airport was eventful and required some white knuckling from Peter! I was safely unaware in the backseat of the millions of mopeds, motorcycles, bicycles that were weaving here and there. TONS of motorcycles. We were told by someone at the hotel that we could hire one if we wanted to drive one. He followed that up with a story about him getting run over by a motorcycle last week. Not a good sell. But, he didn't look too hurt. Interestingly, the majority of people wear helmets.

We love our swanky hotel - it is very cool. Nice pool and really friendly folks. The surfboards have been selected and hopefully we'll have enough energy to hit the waves in the a.m. We are in a bit of a fog right now. But, we went for a walk and stuck our toes in the Indian Ocean! How cool! Not much else to say at this point except that we're psyched to be here!

Write again soon!
Hope all is well with all of you!
