The hotel we stayed at might not have been the most expensive place I have ever stayed but it was without a doubt, the nicest. The Bhundhari Spa Resort and Villas left my sister and I smiling at each other like two kids on Christmas morning. Our room was beautiful; half of it was the bathroom actually. Double sinks with a huge vanity, delightfully designed indoor and outdoor showers (love the outdoor shower- like being naked in nature without the scary bugs and creepers) A huge tub with jets that spilled out to our private outdoor pool, we were in paradise.

Of course I was with my sister, but all you lovers out there check it out, and get some! That place must hold the key to eternal youth. Waking up to plush trees and tropical waters while I walked 5 ft from my bed to dip in the pool, I felt great. This place could have made a morning person out of me- almost.
The town itself is less glamorous. It’s your typical tourist beach spot. Street shops selling shell necklaces and sarongs, lots of big night clubs and bars with flashing lights. It’s not going to be true cultural immersion but you will have a good time.

While we were having a drink at some beach side lounge we met some other American’s. They got all excited when they realized we too were American, and proceeded to jubilantly tell us that “we” had just killed Osama Bin Laden. Literally they threw high fives, go team!! It was such an odd moment to me. I generally don’t jump up and down in glee when I hear someone’s been shot, not really my style. On the other side of the world and this is the thing that’s supposed to make me feel bonded to my compatriots. Odd. Very odd.
