First morning in Bali – our flat is at the back of a hotel complex where several buildings are residences/apartments. It’s very lush and at 10:30 last night, on arrival, it was very hot. We were grateful the AC had been turned on for us. We’ll explore the pools and beach area today.
On arrival, after immigration, there was a unique request in the WC stall….. quite welcoming, I suppose! We thought we’d take uber but could not find the pickup point. Turns out they come to a remote part of the parking garage given uber isn’t permitted at the airport… Found a not so aggressive taxi driver outside the terminal which, inside, was full of taxi hawkers that would almost be tripping you… But the one who was insistent and kept walking with us once outside, told us about uber’s non access to the airport. I asked how much, he said 150,000IDR – and then I said we had no cash as we thought we’d be taking uber and paying credit card. He paused then….. then offered to stop at an ATM. I confirmed no price change….. and off we went. His english was very good and with lots of traffic we had time to chat. He also knew exactly where to take us, which was a help. We stopped at an ATM where there was a small market and we got a few supplies for the morning’s coffee. Breakfast stuff later. Thought adding 50,000IDR (total ride for about 30min travel time was $14.50)was a nice way to say thank you. He was genuinely surprised to see the “tip”.

It’s Monday afternoon and we’ve had 2 days here in Kuta Bali. It’s the first place I’ve come to where it’s nice to see it, to be here, but it’s not a place I would come back to if given a chance. All other places we’ve seen I would go back to in a minute. Maybe if we’d gone to the mountains here in Indonesia, it would be differen
But here at the beach it’s hotter and seems more uncomfortable than DC on a hot day. Midday is over 90 and humidity is close to 90% or more. There’s little to no breeze and both the beach and pool water is nearly the same temperature as the air. There’s no relief, even at night. It’s just really hot!! We’re not far from the equator and it’s either the hot/rainy season (now) or the hot/dry season which starts in June or so. We only saw that it had rained prior to our arrival on Saturday, so not much rain.
Also, though much quieter on the streets than in Thailand or Vietnam (no constant honking), it’s surprising to find so much litter on the beaches. It’s floating in the water and on the beach after the tide has gone out. One look and you head for your hotel’s pool. Which doesn’t cool you down, so you head for a place or your room with fans or AC. Anything to move the air. There are a few good things to report – the people we’ve met are wonderful – friendly and funny; and there’s lots of incense burning and small flower offerings everywhere, so the air smells good!
tomorrow we head out at 2, after checkout, to the airport. No sense if wandering around and getting hot and sweaty before our 8pm departure. We have a 2.5hr flight to Singapore and then 12.5hrs to Munich. We threw Chase points at the trip and got business class which also means we get the Singapore Air’s business class lounge both here in Bali as well as in Singapore. Hoping they are better than what we find with Priority Pass lounges.
Also the time difference currently 12hrs, will shorten to 5-7 as we wander around europe, making calls/chats easier!!! hoping to get in touch…..

On our way. We took off an hour ago. Just got warm nuts and a Singapore sling. I moved from 12F to 11F, best seat in business class, tons of room. And for a first, there’s free wifi…..
Good day,
My name is Eric and unlike a lot of emails you might get, I wanted to instead provide you with a word of encouragement – Congratulations
What for?
Part of my job is to check out websites and the work you’ve done with nnonthewind.com definitely stands out.
It’s clear you took building a website seriously and made a real investment of time and resources into making it top quality.
There is, however, a catch… more accurately, a question…
So when someone like me happens to find your site – maybe at the top of the search results (nice job BTW) or just through a random link, how do you know?
More importantly, how do you make a connection with that person?
Studies show that 7 out of 10 visitors don’t stick around – they’re there one second and then gone with the wind.
Here’s a way to create INSTANT engagement that you may not have known about…
Talk With Web Visitor is a software widget that’s works on your site, ready to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. It lets you know INSTANTLY that they’re interested – so that you can talk to that lead while they’re literally checking out nnonthewind.com.

It could be a game-changer for your business – and it gets even better… once you’ve captured their phone number, with our new SMS Text With Lead feature, you can automatically start a text (SMS) conversation – immediately (and there’s literally a 100X difference between contacting someone within 5 minutes versus 30 minutes.)
Plus then, even if you don’t close a deal right away, you can connect later on with text messages for new offers, content links, even just follow up notes to build a relationship.
Everything I’ve just described is simple, easy, and effective.

Hi, Eric here with a quick thought about your website nnonthewind.com…
I’m on the internet a lot and I look at a lot of business websites.
Like yours, many of them have great content.
But all too often, they come up short when it comes to engaging and connecting with anyone who visits.
I get it – it’s hard. Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site, abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else.
Here’s a solution for you…
Talk With Web Visitor is a software widget that’s works on your site, ready to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address and Phone Number. You’ll know immediately they’re interested and you can call them directly to talk with them literally while they’re still on the web looking at your site.
CLICK HERE http://www.talkwithwebvisitors.com to try out a Live Demo with Talk With Web Visitor now to see exactly how it works.
It could be huge for your business – and because you’ve got that phone number, with our new SMS Text With Lead feature, you can automatically start a text (SMS) conversation – immediately… and contacting someone in that 5 minute window is 100 times more powerful than reaching out 30 minutes or more later.
Plus, with text messaging you can follow up later with new offers, content links, even just follow up notes to keep the conversation going.
Everything I’ve just described is extremely simple to implement, cost-effective, and profitable.
