Thanks for the post's Aging One. Now I have to return as well. A lot of changes since '78 it appears but the people seem to remain, as always, delightful.

After those bombings a while ago, I swore never to set foot on Indon soil. Well, I may make an exception for Bali as they were ragheads from Java in any event.

Hey I just got the heads up from Air Asia. For travel April 1-June 30 of next year and tickets purchased in the next week. Its 1290baht for some seats each going and 2,000 coming back. Less than 3.5grand plus 700 baht departure tax from here, and 15 bucks from Denpasar. I am looking to go again. Cheaper than going to South Thailand by air.

Flights are perfect as well. Leave at 6am arrive at 11:30 in Bali, come back at noon and get here at 3:30pm. Its a one hour + time change to Bali.

Nice thread!

Nearly thirty years ago I arrived in Bali the day before Nyepi, the Balinese New Year (colourful and really enjoyable, I would recommend it), without making any arrangements for accommodation, ended up at a tiny resort on the beach. Not much more than a couple of pounds per night, superb food and treated like royalty. Had an absolutely wonderful holiday there, maybe it's time to go back.............

Check air asia. Yesterday I was farting around looking at prices. Nothing was good so I just typed in dates that were near what I wanted. Going back to Bali again got 780 baht each way. Happy man I am, with happier kids.

AO, now that's a travel thread. Well done sir!

Had the displeasure of a weeknin Kuta end 2000. The hawkers really ruined the trip for me as there was nowhere you could go and just sit without being constantly hassled. I think a mater of mine and me counted 15 seconds as the longest break between one leavuing and the next one.

Shame really as there were some great sights and did have one good day when we went on an all day island tour.

Kinda put me off ever going again but I now know that Indo/Bali is a lot bigger than Kuta !

AO, now that's a travel thread. Well done sir!

First seen it now, and yes well done AO.

thanks all, it was a great trip and as posted I am going back again. Flights cheaper than Southern Thailand, the hotels and food are a better deal as well.
