  • I was surprised to learn that a Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) survey ranks Indonesia's national carrier, Garuda, the best carrier in Southeast Asia when it comes to service. Consider: Garuda's competition in this category includes the world-class Singapore Airlines, among others. This surprises me also because Indonesia is a nation that normally finds new and exciting ways to get bad publicity. (Oh, I wish I'd had them as a client!)
    Have you flown Garuda? Are they really that good?

    The "Eat Pray Love" frenzy continues and for those who have been inspired to set off on their own soul-searching adventure in Indonesia Kamandalu Resort has come up with their own version of Elizabeth Gilbert's story...(cont.).

    The package is available from September 2010 thru July 2011 and sounds like a nice balance of experiencing the movie's theme while still leaving room for a personalized experience, and if you were really inspired by the movie you can enter their contest and potentially win a trip for free. Otherwise there's a minimum two night stay required with rates ranging from $280 - $440/night, depending on which villa you choose. Let yourself go!

  • I was in Indonesia years ago and never got to see one of the famous puppet shows (I got a killer cold and missed half my trip!), but when I go back, I definitely want to see one. It's a pretty unique art form! Here's a neat video I found on YouTube:
  • As an avid snorkeler and once wanna-be marine biologist, I was fascinated by a recent posting on GoNomad.com: Indonesia's Raja Ampat Islands: The Best Snorkeling in the World. Among other things, 75 percent of all coral species are found here, and over 1,000 species of fish. Ah, well, one day...
