Not nearly as hot as you would have had it. At night you could easily sleep with the air con off. Not more than 10 mins rain in 18 days.
As for tourists, you'll always have more if you travel in school hols. Overall I think there is a better vibe when there are more people. It also takes the pressure off a bit as there is more money being spread around.
You'll pay shoulder to high season any where near hols for air and land. One of the cruel parts of being a chalkie ( I was married to one ). As for airlines we are left with Garuda and Qantas/Australian Airlines. Remains to be seen what they do with pricing and scheduling. I think Garuda will be the front runner for deals and seats. Too early to know at this time.
While I know you love the Dynasty I'd love to see you have some time in another property for part of the next trip. Maybe start looking into some in Sanur as they will suit your kids with the nice calm water and lovely beach over there.
Now get back to work and type another JBR.
cheers
