We
began planning for Tracy's 50th birthday last spring, leafing through all
the travel magazines and surfing the web sites of resorts in Southeast
Asia. From this research, along with talking with friends who had visited
the various resorts, we made a short list and eventually decided on the
Four Seasons Resort at Jimabaran Bay, a beautiful resort on the island
of Bali with an excellent spa. It was ranked the top resort worldwide by
the 2002 Zagat survey, and the #1 Asian Resort by Conde Nast
Traveller in 2002, just two of a long list of awards dating back to
1996. We could not have made a better choice as we were shamelessly pampered
for our three day fall break.
Leaving
Singapore shortly after school on the Thursday of the break, we took a
Garuda flight directly to Bali's Denpasar airport, where we were met by
a car from the resort. To our amazement, when we arrived at the reception
area the assistant manager informed us that the resort was full, and we
were being upgraded from a regular villa to the ROYAL VILLA, one of only
two such villas in the 137 villa complex. It was an experience we will
probably never get to relive, and I assure you, that it is one we will
never forget. Come join us for a peak at the lifestyle of the rich and
shameless. Click on the arrow at the bottom left
