Lombok, February 16th,2018 

Dear Ryan, 

Hi there. How are things with you? It's good to know that you are doing fine. Have you received my e-mail?

I am now sitting in my hotel room writing a letter to you about my wonderful holiday. I think this is the most wonderful holiday I've ever had. There are a lot of interesting tourist objects to visit, beautiful local art and craft, tasty traditional food, and much more. It's Friday today. I can't believe this my last day. I wish I could spend more time here sometime with someone special. I hope and pray I will stay longer on my next visit.

I'll be home at about 10 p.m. tomorrow if the flight is on time. On Monday I must go back to work. I can't wait to show my Photos and Videos to you.

Okay, that's all for now. Send my warmest  love to family.

Best wishes ,

Meiliana
