what a time you must of had. I am glad you are going to give Bali another go, as I hope you will have better luck this time. Use this forum and do a Search, you will find lots of helpful hints to make your trip more pleasant this time.
I suggest you get yourself a very reliable trustworthy driver who will look out for you and not rip you off. I am sure if you post a question or look up info on this forum you will find lots of recommendation.
Have a look at an information guide on Bali that a forumite put together. It has heaps of info on lots of useful topics and especially on bargaining and how to do this successfully. I did a google search and found the website www.mybaliguide.com.
My best ever day trip that I have done with my family is the Bali bike trip, where you cycle through villages, stopping in and finding out how the balinese live. The scenery is breathtaking and the buffet lunch is awesome. We went with Bali Budaya Eco bicycle tours and it worked out a couple of years ago atg $40approx per person, including pick up transfers lunch and breakfast overlooking the Kintimani volcano.
enjoy
