Day 3 - Bali Bali

4:43 PM | Posted by Tola

We arrived in Bali yesterday morning. My bag arrived last night.

It has been two great days here so far. The weather reports said thunderstorms, but the sun has been shining practically since we arrived. Everyone has been very helpful and friendly. We have checked out Kuta beach and the Kuta area, and we have liked it a lot. We are heading out to have our first dip in the ocean after I have finished this entry.


We have booked ferry tickets that will take us to the smaller Gili islands tomorrow morning and we are looking forward to snorkling and becoming brown.

Tomorrow is the day ... a day that feels well planned. Everything is organized and ready. Last night and tonight have been nights of goodbyes, cleaning, post office runs, and last minute packing. Ready, set, and here we go!

Today it is -5 degrees Celsius (25 degrees F), and it is hard to believe that we will be in a country where the weather is 30 degrees (90 F) in 8 days! I was happy to wake up to a snow covered Seoul today, and schools were canceled, so that allowed for another day of packing and preparing for January 12th. It also gave an opportunity to walk through the snow and enjoy the beautiful white covered Seoul. We have just about everything organized for the next months, and it feels good to be finished with almost everything. Today Tola and I spent the day in and out of a few clinics because I needed one more vaccine, and it brought back memories of trips in an out of hospitals (in Seoul) during the past 1 1/2 years. I am thankful that as we venture off, the two of us are healthy and ready to go. Our eye doctor even gave us a thoughtful going away present today.





As 2010 begins, there have been many thoughts about the many months spent in Korea during 2008 and 2009. Wonderful friendships have been established and many doors have been opened and closed. It will be quite a change as we leave Korea, but Korea will always be a part of our lives. During our trip we are going to be meeting up with Kate and Antti, so the thought of seeing dear friends does not make our departure as difficult because we know we will be reuniting with some of our closest friends from our time in Seoul.

These next months will allow for new discoveries, and I am looking forward to all that is in store. It will thoroughly be a delight to share the next months with all of you. So, Indonesia here we come .. I have been longing to travel to this land for quite some time and now the opportunity is just 8 days away.
