Bring on 2010!

Ringing in the New Year in Bali was nothing short of wonderful. We ended up going to one of the biggest clubs in Seminyak, KuDeTa, for the big celebration. The theme of the night was Studio 54 so of course a lot of people were dressed in 70s attire, but since Jenn and I really weren’t prepared for that we just went with what we could find in our backpacks. We started out the night at our new Aussie friends fabulous villa for a pre party then headed to KuDeTa for the big countdown. The party was super packed, and tons of fun! We mostly hung around our new friends and of course danced the night away into the New Year!

New Years Day was pretty lazy. Jamie dropped Jennifer, Sam, and I off downtown to do some shopping (all four of us fit on the motorbike see pic below).

Afterwards, we headed back to Jennifer and Sam’s villa for a little time by the pool before we hit the town again.

Jenny wasn’t feeling too hot so she laid low, but Jennifer, Sam, and I went to dinner at this amazing restaurant, Café Bali.

Afterwards, Sam and I decided to go out in Legian, it’s the beach just south of Seminyak, and it’s a VERY interesting place. It’s a lot younger crowd and had a vibe a lot like spring break. We both decided it was fun for a night, but not somewhere we would want to go out again.

Sadly the beaches in Seminyak are terrible. They were full of trash and dead fish so on our last full day in Bali we headed south of Seminyak for about an hour to beach called Dreamland. It was beautiful, but I still think Thailand beaches are the best! We hung out all day at this infinity pool that overlooked the ocean and some pretty amazing cliffs.

We made it back to Seminyak just in time to catch the sunset one last time at our favorite spot, KuDeTa, and then out to dinner with about 15 Australians. Overall it was an amazing trip that I don't think Jenn or I will ever forget. We both have been so blessed to be giving so many opportunities to travel like this and we are so thankful for the love and support of our friends and family!!
