Kapolei, HI Dec 24th For some reason I was up early. Earlier than usual but I captured the most amazing moon setting over the water that I’d ever seen.

Jimbaran, Indonesia Intercontinental Jimbaran Bay: Sun 21st June – Thursday 24th June Room: 6406 We’re home now but this trip stood out for one small reason….and this can probably be traced back to when we were packing.
