Bali - Island of fun

On one September 07 afternoon I receive an IM from Shaz – ‘Prachi, there is no place in the world where we can go on a vacation this december’. I have known SS, Shaz for 11 years now and three of us toghether have never been on vacation, so 06-07 New years we wanted to go vacation – but don’t know where. We started planning in Oct 06 - where to go – Europe, South America, Egypt…. and then and circled back to where we started from. Emails\phone calls, Google searches, taking advise from everyone but all we got was either too expensive or cold or just not feasible. Finally – some wise soul suggested Bali. We booked our tickets, hotel etc - “FINALLLYY”. We started looking in to Bali- what to do there , where to go, what to wear etc we were really excited

Bali – beautiful weather, beautiful beaches, good looking Aussies ( Bali has loads of them) and everything is really cheap. While in Bali we went -

Scuba Diving – my first dive ever – 20 feet under water for 20 minutes in the world different world is “the” most exhilarating experience.
Surfs Up – first time – it looks simple as all you have to do is get on the surf board – and it is simple you can easily on the board but what took is 3 hours is balancing on the board for more than 10 seconds.
Full Body Massage for 2 hours – Ahhhhh…Need I say more
Around Bali – The Volcano, Lake , Rice plantations and the restaurant over looking the volcano is must see.
Shopping – Wood carvings, Bali Jewelry, Batik painting ,
Bali NightLife – Partied every night!! The night clubs and restaurant in Bali have better ambience and beautifully laid out theme than most places DC.

Ticket to Bali - $800
Hotel – 4 nights and 3 days - $ 600
Water Sports - $100
Restaurants and Bars - $200
Sight Seeing - $100
4 days of FUN with people you love the most (I mean Shaz and SS Ofcourse!! and the Aussies) – Priceless

Thanks Guys for everything!
