Bintan Island

With Mike's job posting here in Sumatera, we get 2 R&R's a year, which means that we must take a week long vacation away from here in the fall and spring of each year. This past fall, we went to Bintan Island, where we stayed in a villa near the ocean at a resort called Nirwana Gardens. What a wonderful trip! We took an elephant ride through the jungle, rode the flying fox (huge zipline), archery, snorkeling, sailing, and played at the beach every day. Dallin and I spent one day in Singapore for an eye appointment. I miscalculated the timing on our return ferry so we had to spend the night there and wait for the morning ferry. While we were gone, Mike and the girls spent that day at the beach and got burned crispy. But other than those minor mishaps, it was heavenly!
