hi all,
just wanting to say hi and introduce myself.
have been to bali a few times-the last 3 years ago-planning another trip with husband who hasnt been to bali since 1982-which was our honeymoon-he didnt like bali but i fell in love with the place-so went back a few times without him-he has now agreed to come back with me in july next year so you will be hearing from me as i try to get up to date info from all of you experts regarding my plans for our 3 week holiday in paradise. please tell me if i am driving you all crazy with my questions.

to the Forum,

We are all a friendly bunch of people here.

We surely will not get sick of your questions so fire away when ready.

Larry

well here i am again!
yesterday booked my flights for 20th june next year-pretty early i know but want to get in before the places i like are booked out-got pretty good price with jetstar $1700 return from sydney for 2. could have got $900 for 2 if i we went oct, nov, early dec this year but hubby cant get away then!
what i am planning is-
5 nights alam kul kul-stayed here 3 years ago and loved it
2 nights lembongan-hai tide huts-also stayed here before
5 nights tegal sari-ubud-not stayed here before but sounds good
5 nights kumala pantai
any comments on itinery or hotels much appreciated.
am going to try and book this week as i know all of these places are popular and dont want to miss out but would like to hear from you guys before i do. also any good or bad sites to book on????
thanks in advance
im getting excited already and its a lifetime away!

also how long does it take to lose your virginity on here????

Hi Trebler,

Tegal Sari is a great place to stay, especially considering the price! We stayed there in August 2005. We usually stay at the west end of the area in Penestanan and love it there. Our preference is the be at the Campuan/ Penestanan end of town having experienced both but that is personal preference! There will be as many views on where to stay as there are forum members!

Don't know the other places but would like to some time . There is no end to different experiences in Bali!

The virgin status doesn't seem to last long around here, but can't advise how many posts it takes.

Regards,

David

thanks for that info david.
i am now thinking of alternatives to hai tide huts on lembongan-remembered the steep stairs and having to get down them in the middle of the night to go to the loo-a bit of a pain with my arthritic knees and bladder lol!.
when i was there 3 years ago we ate several meals at the mushroom beach bungalows restaurant-also had a look at the accomodation there and it looked pretty ok-basic but clean and friendly-has anyone stayed there lately??
would prefer to stay on mushroom beach. coconut beach hotel too far up hill for me! lembongan resort too pricey!any comments or advice???

As I am a bit of a LegianLover I can only comment on the KP Resort.

It is a rather large place if you like that kinda thing but the location is just perfect eg right on the beach on Blue Ocean Road within walking distance of all the "local" shopping you will need and close to many great restuarants. The KP's Italian restaurant over looking the beach had very nice food, great prices and very clean toilets - I was only there a couple of weeks ago.

In relation to your "Virgin Status" the following is the number of posts you need to get to the next level:

Travelforum Virgin 0
Travelforum Newbie 5
Travelforum Member 20
Travelforum Regular 100
Travelforum Addict 200
Travelforum On The Brain 500
Travelforum Fossil 1000

So I think you only need one more post to become a Newbie as opposed to a Virgin.

Cheers Larry.

my turn for a question. Are you and hubby "beach" people?
