Now Leaving Gili Trawangan...

Well, we decided to hang around Gili Trawangan for an extra day, but we're on our way out in an hour or two. On that same crazy speedboat that brought us in...here's hoping the waters are calmer. But I'll be taking my Dramamine anyway, you can guarantee that.

We didn't do much the last couple of days...just explored the island, snorkeled, napped, laid around on the beach, ate seafood, etc. Island living. Can't complain.

Next up is Ubud, Bali, the 'culture center' of that island. Yep, back to Bali. It's kind of a strange itinerary but Jonny & Kat wanted to end their trip near the airport.

Some final thoughts on Gili Trawangan:

We'll miss--
The fresh fresh seafood
The good diving
The isolated beaches
The breezy nights
The laid-back lifestyle

Won't miss--
Cold-water saline showers
Power outages
Daytime heat
Roosters & chickens making war outside your guesthouse at 4am
Mask squeeze
Shop proprietors yelling 'hey duuude' every time we pass by

Next update from Ubud, where hopefully my pictures will upload!

You had mentioned satellite internet connection? Ya know, that type of internet connection has really great download speeds, but upload speeds are terrible (similar to dial up) because essentially it is dial-up for the upload portion. That may be why your pics weren't uploading...

Thanks for the new posts. I, of course, thought you were dead from unforseen mask squeeze complications.
