I Dream Of Bali

For far longer than I care to admit, I have had a trip to Bali
on my dream list, just sitting there taunting me. Over the past
year or so, I have enrolled my family into the dream as well,
and it has slowly begun to materialize. I figured it wouldn't
hurt and actually might be quite powerful to share it with this
loving community of purposeful people.

I have even set a target date for May 21, 2006 which will be my
57th birthday. (At least that's what my birth certificate says.
I still feel like a teenager most of the time.) I recently had
the idea that this trip to Bali could evolve into a Life On
Purpose World Tour of some type, with the Swifts stopping in
various ports-of-call along the way to visit other purposeful
people.

I do know that Bali would be a perfect place for me to
experience an even deeper life of service, simplicity and
spiritual serenity, thus the reason this particular location
calls so strongly to me. It is my desire to really experience
the Balinese people, their traditions, their celebrations and
their way of life.

So, I am putting this dream out to you. I would love to hear
from anyone else who has been to Bali, particularly if you have
suggestions on how I can optimize this trip. It will be the
first time my entire family has traveled together beyond the USA
borders and we are really looking forward to it.
