Bali at 40 with the Girls: The Itinerary
Turning 40 spurs mixed emotions! I was at the brink with my co-Titas-of-Manille (as we humorously mock ourselves). We decided to see it as victorious and worth the celebration! Thus a well-deserved get away was meticulously planned by the boss! Our group consisted of four ladies from […]
