Missing the lush, green countryside of Bali

Our trip to Bali was a whirlwind adventure that included flying nine thousand miles to get there.  After flying such a long distance, we hoped the destination would be worth it.  As fate would have it, we thoroughly enjoyed Bali, our hotel and exploring some of the island.  We had a nice balance of sightseeing and relaxation which was perfect for a spring break vacation.   We spent three days at our hotel, the Intercontinental Bali, and two days sightseeing to Ubud and Jatiluwih.

The real standout on this trip, though, was the Intercontinental Bali.  The hotel was magnificent from check-in to check-out.  I can highly recommend staying at the Intercontinental due to its great location on the beach, perfectly manicured grounds, and close proximity to the international airport.  At the end of the vacation, you know it was time well spent if you really d0n’t want leave.  Well, both my wife and I were really sad to leave the Intercontinental Bali.  We sat in the lounge chairs by one of the many pools as our departure time approached.  Hearing the majestic fountains pour water in the illuminated pool was a perfect end to our stay in Bali.  As our flight lifted off in the middle of the night, the lush, green countryside of Bali was left behind for the chaos and concrete jungle of Seoul, South Korea.
