Bali




Well, we made it to Bali. It was kind of crazy trip. First we spent 45 minutes on the runway in Pekanbaru for some unknown reason. This was such a joy since we were flying on an Indonesian Airline called Lion Air. The planes are great. Brand new 737-900's. The problem is that they are set up for Indonesian people. No one over 5'8" need apply. My knees were in my chest the whole way so the extra 45 minutes was not exactly welcome. Then after we made our connection in Jakarta and finally get to Bali the airline has lost Brookyln's stroller and we have yet to hear from them.

The hotel is very nice with great rooms and very friendly staff. After some dinner we headed back to the rooms for bed. The problem arose when our air conditioner could not keep either room cold. We called this morning to ask if they could come and fix it. They came and we left for breakfast. While at breakfast we are asked to go and see the manager of the hotel after we eat. I head up to see him and he tells us that they cannot seem to get the AC working so he was wondering if he could upgrade us to a villa? I say, "Ah, Sure." and we then move to a private 2 story suite with teak wood floors, two wrap around full length balconies complete with a hammock, outside shower, and lounge chairs. This place is amazing. The Getzingers are not used to such high class living that is for sure! We will see what the rest of the week has in store for us.
