Wow that sounds great too. Happy travels!thanks

Can I go on a... what do you call something that is rant like but not a rant or coming from bad place? I am kind of jacked up on adrenelin, a bit drunk just wanting to fall asleep but not sleepy.
Today I went to Bali. Alarm set for 5:15am. Managed to get out of bed about 30 mins later. One of those moments all the cost for a good automated coffee machine are worth it. Get to the airport around 7am for a 9pm flight. The whole process was quite good to be honest.
I've had flights where I have rocked up about the same time and literally been the last person to check in. When I went to Fiji last year, I literally joined a long line and no one joined behind me. Yet I was not the last person checked in because I had all my covid stuff worked out.
I have a ritual at airports. I eat a Whopper, but it was just the breakfast menu at this time
. So I had a pint for some reason. I saw people having them, mimosa's and so why not?
My window row was two seats with no one next to me, so that's a score. For most of the flight I watch youtube streams I downloaded onto my phone. I was not awake enough to watch season three of Succession like I had hoped. There was some doozing off. Moments of awake and moments of sleep time. At one point I started watching The Man With the Golden Gun but despite liking that film it put me to sleep. When I was more awake I watched this week's South Park which was meh and pointless.
6 hour flight. Then a two and a half to three-hour private transfer. The awkward moment when he says I can sit in the front but I just want to be spread out in the back. I feel bad because he's driving all day but I am also there for the service. I listened to stuff and dozed for the first half or so of the trip. We got chatty in the last hour. He mentioned how tired I was. So I think my rudeness is averted. I'll get him to drive me other places.
Arriving in the afternoon was just dead time. Can't sleep. It's raining. If I went for a spa treatment I'd fall asleep. So I went into town, which isn't really walkable, it is but on the road. Nothing there. It's basic. This place literally is just to do the diving. There also are cool things you can do in the area. But here... there aren't even bars. Just restaurants that serve booze.
Hotel is small but nice. I'll sort out what diving I'm doing tomorrow. I'll get a massage or something. The spa treatments are all long ones. Unless it's a pedicure, which is pointless for me. Most treatments start at 90 mins for other treatments.
If people here are getting a massage, go they talk to the person? Like chit chat? I don't, but I know people who do. I think that's weird. They think it's weird not to.
Tomorrow is first proper day. I will get up, eat..... massage?... sort some diving stuff out. Dive the next day.
