LESSON LEARNED...TURN OFF THE NEWS!

So we had the news on ALL MORNING LONG and we quickly discovered that THAT was the wrong thing to do!  😢😢😢  All we heard about was the CORONAVIRUS!  We wanted to go to the highly rated Bali Zoo today—it has been closed indefinitely!  We went to the grocery store in search of masks and antibacterial hand wash — totally out-of-stock!  Toilet paper, however, was in good shape!  We are beginning to feel your pain, friends and family.  😢😢😢

We spent the morning “what iffing” — what if flights into the US from other countries are banned between now and our departure date?  What if we can’t get back in for several months?  And then we would think, “But what’s waiting for us at home?”  No contact with family or friends, no restaurants are open, travel is banned....you all know the saga cuz YOU ARE LIVING IT!  😳😳😳 (And how are you all doing, BTW?)

So we spent our day poolside!  Social distancing at its best!!!

And then we walked down our mostly deserted (😢) Main Street of Seminyak, and enjoyed what was probably one of our last meals out, sitting all alone on the patio of  Italian Job.  (We know—you are all WAY AHEAD of us in the US! 😢)

If it was one of our last meals out, it was a DELICIOUS one at least!

Our lesson was learned this morning—turn OFF the darn news!  Stay safe, dear family and friends! 💖💖💖
