Hello to all: will be traveling to Bali in about 3 weeks; never been anywhere in Indonesia, or Southeast Asia for that matter. I think I will be starting in Kuta, and then maybe on to Sanur or Lovina (sp?). I recently purchased the lonely planet guide to the island, but am feeling a little overwhelmed by all the choices. Can anyone recommend some things to do and/or places to stay in either of the above, or perhaps one of your favorites? It will be two girls (me and a friend), and we would like to go out at night, but my friend is afraid that we are going to be hassled by locals and perhaps tourists that have had a bit too much to drink; thought I would ask for opinions on that one. In other words, can anyone name a place that isn't too chalk-full of tourists but isn't out in the middle of nowhere either? :) We are both americans, and my friend is insisting that it will be better for us to stay low-key about that; what do you think? Sorry to be so confusing, I am trying to include questions for more than just me. Thanks in advance for any info
