Indonesia

Alright folks, maybe we should actually tell y'all about Indonesia?! We arrived on Bali and were lucky enough to stand in the visa line twice at the airport.  After buying the visas in the desolate, back corner of the room, we again got to read the giant, yellow sign reading, "DEATH PENALTY TO DRUG OFFENDERS!" So we quickly ate all our illicit drugs to avoid beheading.  We have never been higher on acetamenaphin in our lives.  After those moments of intense worry, we made it to the other side and didn't have a pain in our bodies.  We were greeted by a driver (holding a sign with my name on it) from our hotel and led to the van.  He helped load all of our overly heavy bags and then we were ready to get in and drive off to Kuta.  Kira walked over the the passenger side and wondered why the key was in the door.  Just as she was about to give it back to the driver, she realized that the steering wheel was on the that side too.  hee hee. 
Kuta was awesome!  If by "awesome" you mean that you have nowhere to walk and are being constantly passed, hastled and choked out by the scores of moped "transport" drivers.  If you love the sound of a Husquevarna chainsaw, then you would love the sounds of the smog filled streets of Kuta.  Try to shake that head cold and sinus infection in Kuta.  I dare you!  Oh, and Peter woke up the first night in our hotel (the one nice place we did have in Kuta) to find his eye 3/4 swollen shut.  That was weird!  Ole lazy eyed Pete.  Must have been all that acetaminaphine. (Renee and Ryan--we suggest that you avoid Kuta and Legian.)
      It felt great to get out of there! We had a travel day to get to the neighboring island of Lomboc, where we stayed in a place that caused Kira to think, when she woke up in the night, "this will be the grossest, worse place we stay on this whole trip!"  The next day, we took a little boat (which didn't even come close to sinking!) to the little island of Gili Air.  Ahhh, what a pretty, tropical island.  We have a great 2 story bungalow with an open-air hang out space up top, complete with hammocks and cushions everywhere.  (Ali Baba's) The food here is delicious and supposedly the snorkeling and diving are great too but we have yet to find out for ourselves as the water has been quite choppy.  Hopefully, we'll get to check it out tomorrow.  more soon and love to you all!!
