Well we spent our ten year in bali two years ago.
It was not planned at all.
So the story is a day before I realised it was our Anna Versity, forgot how many at first, then I remembered, 10 years holy crap better do something real quick.
Went up to the reception of the hotel and said can u deliver any flowers as it is a special day.
The reception people pulled out a manilla folder with all these flower arrangements in it and said choose one. It was 5pm that arvo and i needed it the next morning. Response no problems it will be here. Me thinking Bali time maybe a couple of days.
OK. I look at the pictures of the flowers and ask so this one is about $45 OZ dollars - what do we do now???
I write the message on a piece of paper and they will fax it to the company and flowers arrive next day. OK yep sure - which day.
Sorry this is getting a bit long.
OK next morning have breakie at hotel then sneak up to recption to see if flowers have arrived. To my delieght a huge display was there ready for the viewing. It was a foam back ground three meters by two meters with my message on it with all flowers etc.... - very professional product - I probably would guess $500 AUS in that short time frame.
I then rushed back to the pool to try and con the wife to go to reception for something (can not remember what - think it may have bee one of those time share people she spoke to) and then she saw it. She cried!!!!!
They left it recption for a week and a lot of guests knew it was ours - had to mention our twin boyz - so it was a bit obvious who we where.
The owner of the hotel even came down and took a photo of it.
It just seemed the right thing to do at the right time.
A special moment in life that took only minutes to arrange.
I am sure you will have a great trip
