It's important to keep promises to yourself - especially ones that concern travel. And last year, when I was freezing and miserable in winter camp, trolling my facebook newsfeed (which was alive with pictures from Bali, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia) I promised myself the following:
Next winter, I will not be a chump.
In keeping with that, I booked a two week vacation in Bali! I am here now, arrived yesterday, and ready for adventure. Since I really haven't explored very much yet, I have very little to report except this: Bali is delicious. The air is warm and so are the people. The island is lush, and "rainy season" still has a brighter, bluer sky than I saw all summer in Korea. At the internet cafe where I am now, a little girl, about 7 years old, is sitting next to be at a computer that is turned off, watching me and pretending to type,too. This, after a morning time spent reading on a private patio enclosed by palms waving in the balmy breeze, and breakfast that included watermelon juice and mangosteins.
I love Bali!

Thanks Frances! I am definitely racking up some stories to tell. Can't wait to get home (and back to my own computer) so I can sit down and write them out!
