For adventures out of Seoul, we could trek up to the DMZ or take the new KTX high-speed train. Seoul seems to have good hotels in a bunch of different brands: JW Marriott, (brand new) PH and GH, W, RC.
Anyone in?

Great pictures Cheryl and Wilson. I am just curious about the other 200 pictures.
Cute Bali-Bali. Post more photos!
I am a bit confused. Are we doing the Bali-do 2006 in Bali?
Did anyone else who stayed at the Westin get an email from Miguel Ko, President Asia Pacific Starwood, asking to complete a survey?

Thanks! The other 2oo pictures contained some duplicates, photos taken from the plane inflight, more of the Alila Ubud, etc... (anything too incriminating was deleted before I landed at LAX 
). I figured I was already pushing my luck with 200! If anyone wants to see the whole set, send me your e-mail and I'll send you a link when it's done.
RE BaliDo2006, see post 419 same weekend, same place (although it's likely a safe assumption we'll pick a different hotel central - suggestions incl. RC, one of the Alilas, private villas (2-4?) with our own staff?). BUT....we've got a list of other locations we're going to be "DOing" in coming months in addition
No survey for the Westin here

As for the other Dos, Korea is something I have personally done (and liked) but I am out as well.

You know, for $40 green fees for some of the best courses in Asia that Jakarta offers, I just don't go enough...damn I am lazy...
Sitting in the F (I guess) section of the SATs lounge in T1 SIN...not too bad...free wifi (thru mobile roaming with StarHub) and getting my feet massaged by creepy foot massager...not quite like Zen.

At Kiwi Flyer's suggestion, I've started a new thread to gauge interest in a Do in Seoul on Labor Day weekend. Let me know if it sounds good to any of you.

) And I am not kidding! I think it happened because he helped me with the reservation (i.e., getting it at 50% off). I just hope I get the SPG points!

I have a strong suspicion it may be done again this autumn...

If you look at the birthday cake carefully, you would see the writing as "Happy Birthday Ms. W & Ms R" Yup, the cake chef could read my inner mind.
