As little as possible, take old clothes & leave them there or just take minimal clothes & get them washed every 3 days. I buy bulk undies at Best & Less & just chuck them away. Take DEET Tropical strength mosquito roll on, you can buy plug in mosquito repellant in Mataharis for hardly anything. They don't seem to have conditioner in the supermarkets but I reckon the creme hair bath will do the job nicely. Take a decent straw hat as the sun is strong & just give it to someone when you are going home. Take bubble wrap to wrap breakables, rubber bands to secure them. Also take suncreen from OZ as it is very expensive in Bali and you will need it. In the supermarkets you can buy toothpaste, shampoo, water, soft drinks most anything else you will need. Most of all have a good holiday, wish I was going too.
