Whirlwind Adventure!

Venturing down to the beach to catch sunset on the day we arrived

Sorry I have taken so long to post anything!! It has been a crazy first week full of all kinds of adventures for our little family. First things first, the flights were better than I was expecting... Our itineary was SLC-San Fran (2 hrs) depart 9:30 p.m. San Fran-Taipei (16 hrs) depart at 12:05 a.m. Taipei-Bali (5.5 hrs) depart at 9:30 a.m. Arrive in Bali 2:30 p.m. Saturday the 7th. We almost had to post-pone our trip when Ben realized the day before we were supposed to be leaving that his passport was going to expire in January 2010! They won't even let you on the flight, let alone into Indonesia unless you have 6 months or more left on your passport. We were both in a panic and Ben ended up taking the first flight out in the morning to San Fran and was at the passport office when it opened to beg for a rush passport renewal so we could catch our midnight flight. Well, anyone that knows Ben knows he can talk his way into almost anything and this was no exception, he had a new passport in hand by 3:00 p.m. that day! Coco and I jumped on the SLC-San Fran flight alone and meet him at the airport. We were feeling very lucky that it all worked out. Coco stayed awake until we got on the flight in San Fran and then feel fast asleep in her car seat. It was definitely a very long 24 hours of travel but for the most part it was fine & Coco did great.

We arrived on time, with all of our luggage and most importantly our sanity! We were tired but very excited to start our adventure!

These cute boys were surfing/body boarding on pieces of styrofoam. They were following us yelling "Hello Baby" to Coco :)
