Bali (Indonesia)
March 22 - 28, 2014 (7D6N): We landed in Bali after traveling for 24 hrs!! Ubud was our favorite, but if you are looking for a beach vacation, go to the Caribbean instead. We were in Bali to scout our destination wedding location, so you can remove those from your visit unless you are planning a wedding there as well!

Tips
Pack a sarong with you so you can cover your bare legs and wear a sleeve top on the day when you need to visit temples.
You need an international driving permit (IDP) to rent a scooter. Get it from your closest AAA.
Contact me if you need our driver Toby's information. He was awesome!
Get a private villa with your own pool, you won’t regret it!!!
