Hi :)
I'm sorry to hear of your tragedies, Bali is a perfect place to unwind and set new goals iv found ...
I do a yearly pilgrimage to Bali, its, MY TIME :)))... 3 years ago I even brought a container back full of furniture, it was my first time doing this but found it quite easy with all the help id had from this forum ... Iv been traveling to Bali for 8 years now ... I'm 49 and have had no problems at all, I feel quite safe and relaxed ... I too stay out of the rat race, I always stay a few nights at the Bali Ayu hotel in Kerobokan in a standard villa, and ask for the downstairs room as I have a crook back ... Iv been to Lovina and Candidassa both are beautiful relaxing places to stay, I love the beach also so I stay on the coast ... In Aug ill be in Sanur with my Granddaughter it too is quiet compared to Kuta etc, iv not been here for a few years so it will be nice to explore the sights again with her :)
I'm staying at the Stana puri gopa Hotel this time in a suite room (downstairs bungalow) ... Last time I was in Sanur I stayed in the Bumi Ayu hotel it was great I just wanted to try a new place once again ...
When to go hmmm, I have been at all times on the year, but between May and Sept it is still as warm as the whole year but much less humid so not so hot while shopping ;) ...
This website has been a Godsend to me, I print heaps out before I go and take it with me like an itinerary lol, the people on here are very friendly and the in the archives you can find anything and everything im sure of it ...
I hope this has helped, Terry x
