The Terrific3 travel blog

I had a “me day” today. Nanny was here from 730am to 3pm. I ran 3 miles, walked to The Yoga Barn for a Pilates class, had leftover lunch without needing to be interrupted, had a HEAVENLY 90 minute foot massage, and was able to drop our laundry off in peace and am now writing…

My day began at 1245am when Z came into my room and bed due to “bad dreams,” which seems to be a bit more of a trend lately. It meant he slept well in the comfort of mama, but mama got kicked most of the night. Oh well, these days are short. We planned to…

A woke up this morning to a decorated door. S and Z woke up quite early as I awoke to a balloon popping at 5:55am. I guess it could’ve been worse, and I guess I couldn’t be mad about the kids being excited about a birthday. S wanted a “quiet” day on his birthday and…

We had a grand adventure planned today, and it was grand. We signed up for an Airbnb tour “from 8-1” that was a cycling tour with Ketut Gun. We were picked up at our hotel at 8 am (even though last night we were told 730am, the host sent me a message right before 7am…

Today was a very long day. Which started at 4am, an interruption of the first night of good and non-sick sleep I’ve had in a week by a boy’s bad dream. I did an amazing run by the beach. Took some gorgeous photos but unable to load them as WordPress tells me I’ve used my…

Before I left for this epic 9 week long trip away from what we call home with my 2 elementary school aged boys, I wondered not if, but when homesickness would strike us all. For of course, as an often forlorn but always willing world traveler, homesickness was a familiar travel companion. That longing for…

Unfortunately, I’m still under the weather. Not sure what I have. I’m slightly improved from the first day, but still having some abdominal pain and generalized fatigue had nausea, and was up a bunch of times last night. I’m most bummed that I’m wasting a good opportunity for some beach runs, but also trying not…

I’m going to admit that this post is likely going to be very biased, given we spent a month in Thailand and just arrived in Bali and are staying at a resort. More so because I feel more vulnerable now, having been scammed coming into the country, and then hit with a mysterious illness that…
