I know what it's like, believe me. The first time I went to Bali (on my honeymoon, 7 years ago) I stressed so much my husband said "you're not who you're supposed to be today are you?"
It's not easy, especially Bali for the first time. But you will have a great time. Don't take the locals too seriously, have a laugh, read everything you can find about the art of bargaining (it's essential reading) and then relax and let it all happen. I'm very much looking forward to going in May, and will be organising a get-together at S&S for the 15th. You've already left by then haven't you? Either way, there will be other get-togethers at S&S whilst you're there. Go and meet other Forumites, make some new friends, get travel advice, have a ball.
