Scratch Bali

Cindy and I tried to book what we thought were some pretty amazing deals on Air Asia that would've gotten us into Bali for an amazingly low price ($5 US), but . . . with fuel surcharges, convenience surcharges, etc. the tickets came out to more than we were willing to spend, so we've decided to leave for Kuala Lumpur on the 30th and head from there to Borneo, where we're planning to get certified to scuba dive. We could've done it on the beach we're on, but we waited too long to start and now that we're leaving we don't have enough days left to get our certification before we have to catch our bus to KL.

We've heard wonderful things about Borneo, and we're really looking forward to making the trip there. I'm sure we'll spend some time laying in the sun, but with a 3-day certification class and maybe an extra day for the deep diving certification, plus all the jungle treks we've heard about, we'll actually be getting some exercise other than volleyball and swimming soon. Yay!!!

For now, we're content to soak up as many rays as possible, but we're running out of sunscreen so we have to be careful about how many hours we spend in the sun. Other than that, we're just eating great food and meeting new people - two of my favorite things.
