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

villa.
