Hi everyone,

Wishful thinking really, its simply AGES until we head off to Bali (April 2011!!). We have a family of 7 including a 2yr old and a couple of great grandys, and while in Bali we are wanting to use an excellent English speaking, friendly driver with a newish, airconditioned 8+ seater van, with a baby seat which we are happy to provide.

We are trying to decide whether it would be easier if we simply booked him/her for the whole 20 days, or whether we should just wing it and hope we can find a suitable van whenever we need it.

Between three couples the cost of booking a driver for the full three weeks is within our budget, and we are happy to have him/her pick up other jobs when not being used by us, so we might be able to work out a discounted rate (though we're not penny pinching about it).

Travelling with a toddler and a couple of great grandy's, walking long distances is out, so having a driver ready, willing and able is really tempting.

What do you think? Is it worthwhile?
