First itinerary revision

I just got email saying that for "operational reasons", the first day of the six-day China excursion I'm signed up for has changed. A museum in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia, that we were originally scheduled to see before lunch, we now see after lunch; a temple set atop a cliff near a famous surf beach and attended by a family of macaque monkeys, is no longer to be visited, and we're now on our own for dinner, for which we will have an hour inside the airport. I have to wonder whether Balinese airport food is any better than American airport food. I suspect not.

I know sometimes changes are necessary, and I trust Holland-America to protect us from untoward occurrences. But "operational reasons"? Come on, people, inquiring minds want to know. Is there a plague of crazed komodo dragons loose on Bali? Is the surf beach overrun by predatory Balinese surfers who have started kidnapping tourists and holding them for ransom, to be paid in boards and ganja? Has the tour guide broken up with his vindictive long-time girlfriend, who manages the temple macaques, to the extent that macaques can be managed?

This is a world cruise! We have signed on for adventure! "Operational reasons" is something we can get from any bureaucrat at the local city hall. We want details! (And if it's something boring like, "In the past, we've found that we overloaded that first day, something had to be cut, we're sorry about the macaques, but we need to be realistic here," you might consider making something up. We'll go where you tell us, we might as well have some imaginary romance to chew on with our airport food.)
