Bali Dec 2018
After our daughter's third surgery earlier in May, this was a test of passage ... could we do it?
We could. A victory for our family.
The flight was five hours from Brisbane to Denpasar (Bali) and went well with due medical precautions, and we managed to do what we set to do and beyond.. we were then treated stunningly in Bali and had an amazing 9 days trip.
