dreaming of bali

Amarterra bedroom

I took this quiz on my friend’s blog the other day and think I found Michael and my next trip. I’ve been dreaming of it ever since — but, unfortunately, not in a bed like the one above. That’s the one I’m dreaming of.

 

Yes, this seems like a newlywed quiz and, yes, we’ve been married for almost 33 years but we still like to think of every trip as a honeymoon.

Ha ha ha! Seriously, our anniversary is in August and it would be great to find a really romantic place to go.

Anyway, my results came up 67% for Bali and 33% for Hamilton Island, Australia. I’ve already been to Hamilton Island with, ahem, Oprah, and although I would go back in a heartbeat (koalas, Whitsundays and the Great Barrier Reef, oh my), I’ve always wanted to visit Bali.

So I clicked on My Holiday Centre, which offers high-end all-inclusive packages, to learn more, and this is what I saw.

My bag is packed.

The 5-star Amarterra Villas, Nusa Dua is β€œlocated in an enclave of luxury,” and each villa – villa! – has its own private swimming pool. That’s all I needed to hear. It also offers β€œdaily homemade cookies and candy.” That’s all Michael needed to hear.

It also features a spa which embodies ancient Hindu and Buddhist Dharma philosophy.

It focuses on serenity.

And it uses all natural and sustainable resources.

The pictures alone deliver on its promise to “send your senses into a pleasant overdrive.”

So, if you don’t hear from us for a little while, you’ll know where we are. But please don’t try to find us. After all, we’ll be on our honeymoon.

Take the short quiz above and see where you should be going on your next romantic vacation. Please leave a comment to let me know. Maybe we’ll see you in Bali!

    1. Ha ha! I don’t think Paterson, New Jersey is one of the choices – although I’m sure it’s very romantic!

  1. An account is required to play..but I can tell you right now that my husband has taken me to so many wonderful places…and this fall we’re going to Sicily (my 2nd time, his first) and in December we’re taking the Christmas market cruise on the Danube. I love to ravel!

  4. OH MY! It looks fantastic! I love destinations like these but am always aware of what lies on the outskirts – immense poverty, high crime, etc. I think that I think way too much. I’d do this in a heartbeat. ENJOY you two lovebirds!
