In Reply to: Advice for 50th- girls trip posted by Helenb on Saturday, 9. June 2012 at 14:03 Bali Time:
I recently returned from Bali..well Lombok and Gili which I went for my 50th birthday also..
We used to always say Why do people always just go to Bali....Why not go somewhere different for a change....??
The first time I went to Bali was 1984 for our honeymoon and then for about 10 years we never went back as we went to other places...
10 years ago we took our kids over and ever since we have been back every year and sometimes a couple of times a year..and our kids now also go any chance they can as well...
We live in Perth and it is cheaper and quicker for us to go there than most other places and we just LOVE it...
Sometimes when I am there I ask myself What the hell am I doing here?? but there is something as you alllll know that just gets ya and brings us all back..!!
It is just so easy to go to and has something for everyone..
We now dont spend our time in Kuta-Legian...well only a couple of nights to catch up with people but have now started spending time up in areas like Bingin and Padang Padang...LOVE IT
We chose to go to Lombok and GIli and Loved Gili-for my birthday as I wanted to wake up somewhere that I loved and thats exactly what I did..
We have a Vegas trip planned for next year Oh and popping off to Byron Bay for a break BUT will be back to Bali for christmas and I would be there even earlier if I could..
There are other places to go BUT go where you love for your birthday and have a blast..CHEERS
