What I will miss...
Ask us if we are glad that we came and all of us will give a resounding YES! It has been an amazing experience and southeast Asia is like no other place we have EVER been. It is almost difficult to explain. But what I will miss is...
Indonesian men actually giggle, I will miss hearing that.
The spas, the spas.....I think I may cry.
How cheap most things are in general, seriously, $5 seems like a lot of money here.
Seeing the most amazing things carried on motorbikes.
The sights and sounds of the streets, hand carts and vendors, huts and shops in the most amazing little nooks and crannies.
Our apartment, it is the perfect size, our house will seem too big.
All the time we have had together as a family here, life and activities will get in our way again.
Bali...it is truly my favorite island in the world.
Call to prayer, it is such a wonderful reminder to be mindful.
Geckos in the house.
What I won't miss.....
Public bathrooms tend to have standing water on the floor...yeeww!
Durian at the grocery stores.
Traffic and factoring in one hour to get any where.
Not being served all together at a restaurant.
Air pollution and open sewers
Feeling like a major water buffalo next to the beautiful and petite women here

karon,
i'm just finally getting to read all your posts~!
oh my gosh! it's like reading a really great book that you know all the characters.
i especially love the character that gets the 2 hour massages!!!!!!
i saw mary lou this a.m. i had some of the "old" playgroup over for coffee. eileen clare and crew are moving to north carolina. so it was a simple send off.
mary lou said she is afraid you will go through spa withdrawal when you get home. from reading your posts, i can believe it!
looking forward to having you back in town. i'd love to see you and hear about all this in person!
if not that, we'll see you at a football game it sounds like.
you are all such great writers, thanks for the pleasure of reading about your life!
safe travels back!
take care, the marnocha's
