Reading your post bought back heaps of memories for me.
I too went to Bali my first time in 1982 and stayed at Kartika Plaza. I had just turned 21 (giving away ages here) and was in total shock for the first few days. The next time was in 1994 and again was shocked but this time by the change. Where there was jungle and nothing else there were hotels and shops and the sense of alot more people.
My next time was in 2002 where I introduced my mother to Bali. Now she too is hooked and loves Bali. The bombing scared me and I stayed away for 2 years.
That was my first 3 times and in June 2008 I am venturing to Bali for the 7th time. Every time I go I can see changes but each time I love it more.
