Ever watch Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical South Pacific? Back when we had no kiddos Scott and I went to see it at the Sundance outdoor theater. In it there is a song titled Bali Ha'i. Whenever I think of the island, Bali in Indonesia, I automatically think of this song. Now this song may or may not have anything to do with this island, but for me the name means a connection. Here are a few of the lyrics to this song.
Bali Ha'i may call you,
Any night, any day,
In your heart, you'll hear it call you:
"Come away...Come away."
10 days on a beach in Bali with a pile of books to read sounds just about right. I think Bali is definitely calling me.
"Here am I, your special island!
Come to me, come to me!"
Really how could you not come with a song so enticing as this?

Any kind of get away is tempting, especially dreaming about a beach like that.
Forgive me, are you going on a big trip?? Sounds like tons of fun, especially with lots of fun books! For sure tell me how you like "Ring of Endless Light" and the "No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency" as well as any other favorites you have. I am ALWAYS looking for good new books to read.
It was one of my favorite musicals and favorite songs. Only beat by "Some Enchanted Evening."
I just got caught up on your blog. I was wondering if you would lend Scott out to organize around my house.
