I feel proud of my family when we travel. Granted, this may come across as braggart, and I don’t intend it to be. I know we are extremely lucky with the amount of travel in our lives. Kevin and I have created a lifestyle that affords us this luxury. So, for how ever many timesContinue reading The Water Palace, Bali
This was my travel outfit to and from Bali. The pants were perfect and very Balinese–even though they’re from Zara. I carried my straw beach bag as a carry on which is actually perfect for throwing all that’s needed in transit below my seat. The flip flops, well they’re a staple in Southeast Asia. IContinue reading A Bali OOTD
Awww, Bali. It’s pure bliss. Especially the Amertha Bali Villas up in the north west of the island in an area called Pemuteran. It’s secluded and rather isolated with nothing up there but the beach, a lovely villa, and sea life. Now that we have become divers, we returned to this destination to expand theContinue reading Balinese Snake Revisited

Here’s theContinue reading October Break at Amertha Villas in Bali
Ahh, Beautiful Bali! (I promise; this is the last instalment from our trip to Beautiful Bali over our most recent Christmas holiday.

Motel Mexicola is indeed the quintessential Mexican experience–even though it’s islands away! Walking inside we all felt transported to a different land even though we were still on the island of Bali. After seeing several of my favorite bloggers (yes Geneva and Shea, I’m talking about you) tote the same message of how awesome MotelContinue reading Motel Mexicola–Bali’s Best Mexican Restaurant in Seminyak
River rafting in Bali was sensational! On one of the days during our four day stint in Ubud over our Christmas holiday trip to Bali, we went river rafting. It was the first time for the kids, and the river couldn’t have been more spectacular. I am not kidding when I say we took overContinue reading River Rafting in Bali
Beautiful Bali The last time Kevin and I were in Ubud was 15 years ago. One thing that has not changed with this idyllic local in the mountains of Bali is its beauty. It’s just remarkable. On the other hand, the commerce has definitely increased as has the yoga zeal to the town. Also theContinue reading Beautiful Bali: Part 4, Ubud Rice Fields
Bali is still beautiful! This recent trip over the Christmas holiday did not disappoint.

The first thing weContinue reading Christmas in Bali: Jungle Christmas Trees and Sequins Dresses Included!
Bali is still beautiful! Today’s roundup of pictures highlights the people and places of Bali. We had quite a drive to get to our idyllic villa on the northwestern part of the island, but once we arrived it was worth it. We passed by a triplet of lakes, through continuous busy village life, and upContinue reading Beautiful Bali: Part 2, People and Places
Basically Bali is just beautiful. It’s not just the rolling steep mountains, the bright blue sea, and the basking beach sun that grab your attention. It’s also the details that the Balinese people apply to their every day life. All over Bali you will find design elements to emphasize nature’s beauty from elaborately displayed flowersContinue reading Beautiful Bali: Part 1, Flowers and Food
