My reservations sites started in 1999 with some web space on my free ISP account but shortly thereafter moved to travelideas.net. I mention it here as at that time, I was only doing Bali hotels and villas; I called my service "Bali Direct" and then "Bali Hotels & Accommodations Co" with the domain travelideas. Travelideas is now dead, it redirects to my new charitable branded name, travelethos dot com, but for me to see my old domain I have had for years go, well

In the old days I used to go around doing walkabout around Bali, taking hotel pictures as I went and hand coding the hotel pages myself. Now, everything is automated, but I sure miss the old walkabouts and trying to run a "business" from a laptop. I remember still the number of times I would bump into other travellers in Bali who had copies they had printed of my web pages, using them as reference for hotels to look at. Ah, another era has begun, bye bye travelideas, Bali Direct and Bali Hotels & Accommodations.
