Tjampuhan Hotel And Spa Bali

Ahh Bali....... sitting on the beach drinking beer after having a massage, nothing like a bit of laziness to begin the adventures. Well I've been working hard for a year so might as well begin it all with a bit of a holiday before the serious stuff begins.

Tomorrow is the BIG day! Today, I am a “Miss” but tomorrow I’ll be a “Mrs.” Today is the last day that I’ll check the Single box on documents and staring tomorrow I’ll check the married box. Today, I have no children but tomorrow I’ll have two. Today my life is wonderful but tomorrow it will be even ...

... 2nd deal so walked away from that. On the 3rd deal the guy had 100's of notes he gave us and was obviously trying to cheat us, every time I counted the money he insisted on re counting the money AFTER I had, He tried this twice and I threw the money on the table and walked away.

... clean streets, relatively calm traffic, fresh air and tropical weather (an and relatively liberal dress code...) before I head back to Big, busy, relatively conservative smelly Delhi, which I actually miss a whole lot. Strange how a place that was so overwhelming at first can start to feel like home. I am safe, happy, and healthy. What more could a girl ask for?? Love Love Love you all. Peace Kimberly Nicole

... feeling as though I would like to be back in the US towards the end of the year. I'm feeling ready, and I can't believe I'm saying that. I think some things have just clicked and I've found my path and I am focused on that. I have some ideas for a business that I'd like to create, and it feels like the next step for me.
