flying Jetstar from Melbourne on Saturday 30th. My bag has about 4 kgs of my things and the rest is donations/gifts! My brother and I are heading up to Pemarutan to snorkell at Menjangan Island (staying Jubawa Homestay), then Villa Agung at Anturan (Lovina)- doing full moon ceremony on 3rd Jan at Singaraja, then down to Ubud (Sama's Cottages), then Padang Bai for about 4 nights (snorkelling Amuk Bay) and back to either Sanur,Legian or Kuta. Will there be anyone around on Friday 12th Jan. for a bintang at Sammy and Suzie's around 4.30 pm? Methinks I will take my umbrella - sounds like it is hoojang kushng and anjing (raining cats and dogs) over there! Belated Happy Christmas everyone and think of me New Year's Eve up at Pemarutan - hope you have a good one too wherever you are. Will JBR as usual on my return. Cheers for now.
