On a swing over the deep blue ocean

Waiting for dinner I jumped on the swing in front of our great guest house, Gili Air Santay. Swinging out over the deep blue at dusk water I realized that our trip is really, truly, almost over.

A quick check on the calendar at our table lists 18 days before we arrive back in the US. And then a few more weeks until we are actually back in San Francisco. I'm sure we'll do a 'numbers' post later - but we did a quick verbal whirlwind of countries, climates, time zones, currencies, altitudes, etc... that we've been through.

We are often surrounded by travellers who are doing things that make our trip seem very tame. Thus we lose perspective on our quite magical every day experience.

So we are pulling out every bit of crazy goodness in our last days.

More on Gili Air soon. Simply put, it is a magical place. Much more so when its not 95 degrees out. And with humidity so thick a wet towel won't dry in that heat. No cars, no bikes, no pollution, fantastic views, endless palm trees, crystal clear waters... the superlatives go on and on.
