Thank you everyone for all of your advice. I think if I am well-informed about the country before I head out my family won't be so nervous. And now, yet another question; I will also be in Australia and New Zealand in addition to Bali (1 month in each country). I have never been backpacking before and I have NO CLUE how to pack! Everyone says pack half of what you think you will need, but that doesn't help me that much...I need numbers, like 2 pairs of jeans, 1 jacket, etc. PLEASE give me some suggestions so I am not wandering around the South Pacific with too much stuff on my back :) How do you go about without having a purse or wallet? Just hide the money and passport in your pocket and hope no one takes it or?
I am sure I will have more questions later on, but let's start with this one first :)
