The FOOD suggstions are most appreciated - that's my passion!!!
I have always said, it's a close call between ‘great food' and ‘great sex' but once you find a great restaurant, you can have great food whenever you want!
Others have argued, that once you find a great woman you can have great sex anytime also. This IS true, but what has to be considered is that nobody gets upset if you have ten great restaurants!
I am sure I will love Bali, I was born and grew up on a very similar island in the West Indies. My real fear is the humidity, I went to Sydney for the Olympics and the humidity there nearly killed me. I think for the first few days, I will venture out of my room 10 minutes at a time, to get past the shock.

I wish! No, I've worked long and hard and would much prefer to go to my maker, poor and happy, than rich and miserable. I have gained a number of skills and it's time to pass them on or put them to use in helping others.
Secretly, I hope that I will find an opportunity to do that in Bali. I have heard so many nice things about the Balinese people – wouldn't it be great if I can do something to improve the lives, of even just a few Balinese in return for the privilege of sharing a bit of paradise?
