The Terrific3 travel blog

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…

Hello!

First off, I apologize for the lack of photos on this blog. As no things come easy in Bali, nor does the ability to buy extra GB for media on WordPress.com even though I’ve been trying for several days and written them. I’m still trying. Last night’s sleep was in the right direction of better…

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…

Let’s say that the night wasn’t great again. Still headachy and waking a lot. My Garmin watch told me my stress levels were high and sleep score was poor (nothing I didn’t know). My belly hurt like it does when you’ve been vomiting except no vomiting or diarrhea yet during this mysterious illness, that I…

I’ve spent most of the day laid up. My symptoms are a headache, intermittent chills, no fever, abdominal discomfort (but no diarrhea). I think I have some version of mild “Bali belly,” as I’ve been eating salads at the hotel. Thankfully the boys are ok. I’ve been in bed most of the day except an…

Sleep was better for me last night, but not great. The kids slept super well. I got to experience this gorgeous sunrise this morning from my hotel bedroom. I went for a 3 mile run this morning and then we all swam. relaxed by the pool, and the kids and I took a snorkeling lesson.…
