Loved all your info. Just had a couple of questions as well. Did you book ahead for John Hardy? I think I've heard that you have to have an appointment. Where exactly are they. Does everyone that is there stay for lunch? I am organizing a group of 14 girls that I will be escorting to Bali in May. I'm not sure how many will want to join me at John Hardy's but do you think that number might be abit much?
We're flying Cathay as well. What were you major beefs? I usually use CX because we dodn't have to over night in HKG on the way there. If we use SQ we have to overnight in Singapore in both directions. Just curious about CX as I've always had pretty good flights with them. I do find their new economy seats really hard though. Flew with them to Bali in November and overall the trip was pretty good.
Most of us are doing the bike trip with Wayan and I'm really looking forward to it. I did just have a client do the bike trip and fell off his bike, broke his shoulder and had to have surgery in Bali. Bali Bike handled it pretty good but I don't think they were prepared for this serious of an injury...but they are now!
Am going to find Mutiara store in Ubud for shirts. Thanks for the tip.
I totally agree about the Uluwatu Kecak dance being so full now. The first time I went there it was about one third full. It is entertaining though watching the organizer try and get people to move seats so he can squish more people in. It's kind of like watching Candid Camera because no one understands him and he is so passionate about having people almost sitting on top of one another.
This will be my 17th trip to Bali and I hope you get over there again. I live in Calgary so can relate to the distance issue. I'm doing 2 ladies groups this year so that's what keeps me going back! I've pretty much created the perfect job for myself. Now I just have to get my husband to understand this!
Cheers,
Cathy
