missing bali...

there are some places in the world that can take your breath away… whether it is a special spot around the corner from your home… or even somewhere you have only visited once before. it's a place that makes your heart feel full. to me this place is bali. when the fireman and I started dating (three years ago) we went to bali for three weeks after being together for only three months. we have been one more time since, and needless to say, after getting my first taste of this true paradise... I have been hooked ever since!

here is our bali story in pictures...

what I love (& miss) most about this crazy-amazing place is…

the wonderful indonesian people. the calm peaceful days. the wide-open beaches. the mango smoothes. the life-changing banana pancakes. the open-air markets. the hand-woven textiles. the crazy monkeys. the warm sun. the lush green rice paddies. the bali sunsets. the calm yoga practice. the amazing surf. the Javanese furniture. the hand-carved wood doors. the yummy organic produce. the bintang beers. the indo lifestyle. the lovely hospitality. the warm ocean water. the little secret beaches. and let’s face it… I could go on forever!

this is a great time of year to visit bali… and since a few of our friends are getting packed for their annual trip… we are reminiscing about our past bali vacations... and wishing we could just jump into their suitcases and go with! until next time :)
