On June 19, 2010 a very close friend, Cara Mancini got married to Tony Geros in Bali! At first, I didn't think I was going to make it... having a little guy and all. However, my very generous parents and warm hearted husband told me I couldn't miss it... so I packed my bags and headed off to Bali solo.
I flew from SFO through Bancock and Singapore to DSP, Bali. The flight was about 20 hours... I arrived to meet up with Kira, Erin and Ben along with many of the wedding guests in Seminyak. Seminyak is the shopping hotspot of Bali... I couldn't believe how many stores there were...Endless. From Seminyak we headed east to a more remote area of Bali called Canguu. We stayed at Ni Rampe Village Villas... which was beautiful. Here we relaxed in the sun, and celebrated Cara's 30th birthday at a beach front restaurant...We then ventured across the entire island of Bali to the wedding location in Pemuteran at Amertha Bali Villas http://www.amerthabalivillas.com. It was spectacular!
Kira, Erin, Ben and I shared a villa equipped with our own pool and living area... truly spoiled. Brooke and Ben arrived on Thursday before the wedding and the old "Boulder" crew was 1/8 united... Missing Lauren, Julia, Brie, Devin, Robin, Marie and many more...
I haven't had such a truly relaxing trip in a very long time... it was really strange not looking after Finn or having to organize anything... I read 2 novels, swam in the ocean, snorkeled, got a few massages, drank too much Binsang Beer and soaked up the tranquil Balinese culture.
Aside from the brutal and long flight...It was a truly energizing place! Here's some of my pics.
Photo Booth at the Wedding... Silly girls.

Great job, Quinn! Nice pix and a good read :) So when did Finn's hair get so blonde??? He's a toe head, haha.
ReplyDeleteI was really bummed to have missed Cara's wedding - looked fantabulous....and so relaxing. Was the rainbow dress thing coordinated? If not, funny coincidence.
Wish we could catch up when I was home. Miss you - d
