Flying out of Gatwick (North) for this trip. I got an excellent liveaboard deal with Scuba Travel on Solitude Adventurer which allows me to strike one more awesome dive location from my bucket list. Also booked overnight stays, both sides of the liveaboard, actually in Bali hotels - when I arrive in Bali in the evening for a brief overnight before flying to Komodo the next morning, I have booked the Novotel which is a 5 minute walk from the terminal, on the return from Komodo to Bali I have a little more time so I have booked overnight at the Bali Relaxing Resort and Spa and also pre-booked taxis for the short journey from the airport and back to the airport the next day for the evening flight from Bali to Dubai.

Now is the winter of our discontent.
Made glorious summer by this sun of York;
And all the clouds that lour’d upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths;
Our bruised arms hung up for monuments;
Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings,
Our dreadful marches to delightful measures.

Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath bore me on his back a thousand times, and now how abhorr'd in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it.
