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 video below to get an
overview of the Royal Villa and then on the link below
that for a our virtual tour of the villa.
