can you believe it?

i am flying out on sunday for a trip to bali, including the gili islands and ubud this time.  trouble is i've developed a head cold so i'm hoping that i'll be ok to travel.  i'm hoping it is short lived and flying won't be a problem.  i had a bad infection recently and thought i was all good to go.  apparently not.  i can't remember getting sick like this for ages.  no mind, i can relax once i get there i suppose.  i'm spending a week in ubud, which will be nice, in a homestay with a balinese family.  i've never done that before.  it comes highly recommended and  there is quite a well known restaurant on the top floor and they only have a few rooms.  then i'm going back to kuta to meet up with my friend before we head off to the gilis.  neither of us has been before and it should be a nice little adventure.  there are no cars on the gilis.  everything else is good.  i would have gone up to mind the kids for two nights whilst my daughter went away with her partner but that isn't happening now.  the kids are well and happy and bubs is still teething with no teeth to show yet.  he's growing beautifully and is such a happy little boy.
