I’ve read Eat, Pray, Love. I’m pretty sure you have as well. It spread like wild fire last year and was all I saw when riding on public transportation for a while. It was with this book in mind (well, not completely – but a little bit) that I dragged Martin to Ubud in Bali. He’d been there before and didn’t seem all that impressed. I thought he was being rash, figured I needed to see it for myself. So off we went.
Now, keep in mind we’ve just come from the jungles of Sumatra when I say that I was VERY disappointed in Ubud. It was much, much more up-market than I expected; not the quaint hill-side village of my imagination. The streets were lined with expensive stores (Dolce & Gabbana and Ralph Lauren to name two) and it was jam-packed with tourists. It seems the Seat of Our Pants crew has hit up Bali in it’s peak tourist month. I guess it’s safe to say that we’re not the first to have the idea of going to Bali in mid-August.
We’re heading over to Lombok – thankfully leaving the Ralph Laurens in our dust.

You know the saying, “to fly by the seat of your pants?” Well, that's been our philosophy for most of our adult lives – before and after meeting, falling in love and marrying.
