Let's start off with the Island of Gods - Bali - one of the 10 islands to explore before you die published in Yahoo Travel.
About a year ago, friends knocked me on msn saying AirAsia is having the free seats again! In a group conversation, we decided BALI. AA always kicked off the free seat sales at 12midnight on WEEKDAY! No choice, for a group of budget traveller friends, we stayed awake.
'Bee...Busy' page on AA isn't unfamiliar to many budget travellers. One of my friend has faster network and she managed to get in and checked. Deal, we decided to go BALI tentatively from 14-19 April. Wished to make it on Good Friday so no need to take long annual leave but the free seats only available on a week before Good Friday...
After few trials, we failed to book the ticket and most of us went to sleep after 1.30-2am. X8 stayed awake and he managed to book 6 tickets at only SGD45.50 for both ways!! **HAPPY**
Scene changes fast...time flies...about half a year before the trip....
We started to draft the plan and I volunteered to be the organiser cause I like to plan travel itinerary so I could take charge of the trip - I know what exactly worth spending, I know where i have been to, I know where serves the best cuisine...
Long long time ago, uncle ong has promised to bring me to BALI so I did many homework before... The most value hotel in Bali is TEGAL SARI in Ubud. No.1 in tripadvisor!! It has to be booked and fully paid at least half a year ago to ensure you have the desire room! I quickly wrote email to TG and Moo also tried his luck by writing to them... Lucky, we managed to book 2 double and 1 twin room. Is TG really good? I will reveal in later entry...
Ding Ding Dong Dong.. created a facebook discussion thread with friends, agreed on the route, sent emails for accommodation request, booked room & driver etc...
Through the extensive research, I have a much broader idea how attractive BALI is... 6 days aren't enough to explore the spiritual island...
