Too full for Cheese and crackers, so umped to coffee and dessert…

Landing into Bali airport




Staying at the Alam Ubud Villas I chose to stay far away from the more popular places like Kuta, sanur….just to avoid the crowds….Ubud is about 1 – 1 1/2 hrs from the airport…giving me a very quiet, relaxing reflection retreat!!
Welcome by the villa’s staff with flowers, a flower foot soak, and a refreshing drink…lemon grass and ginger….



Villas Kunti which I stayed…with a private pool



Since I was travelling alone, I’m afraid I don’t have too many food pics cos I could only have soo much food on each meal…
Satay Combo as my dinner…


Good Morning forests….

a short walk near by the Villa, wow this Salak fruit is sooo sweet and crunchy


After an hour swim, I had a 2 hours massage at my own Villa

the evening retuning back to Vancouver late night snack at the Wing – CX Business Class Lounge

Premium Economy Class for long haul flight


Own menu

an after take off drinks a choice of Champagne or Juices, a noise cancelling Headphone same as Biz Class
The first row is the best, more leg room and the seat with leg and foot rest…just like the very old Biz Class seat just not as wide.




First Meal….the entree is actually the Biz meal…..with 3 choices…

over night kit…and I looked wired after a good 6 1/2 hours rest……
