Well, leaving Sunday, AP from Adelaide.
Taking my 12yo son, who has never left Oz.
Seems that I have been studying the BTF for weeks. Although we are only going for four days!!! Have packed so much in we will need a holiday when we get back.
So far I have managed to keep the holiday a secret from my son. I anticipate we will tell him tonight(Friday), I feel so pleased with myself as I have a motor mouth when it comes to surprises for the kids.(the older one is off to Japan for a school exchange so he is not missing out).
Absolutely no concerns regarding terrorism .
What I have gleaned off the forum.
· Have learnt a few basic phrases
· Have printed pages of JBR's and read them with as much excitement as a kid in a chocolate factory Often hanging out for the next person to post one!
· Maps printed off.
· Studied Filo's website...fantastic.
· Found the Do's and Don'ts list excellent.
· Don's Shopping Guide a must for those born to shop( reduced it in size and have pasted it in my note book).
Pre-ordered my DVD's ready to collect on day of arrival (many)
Many thanks to those who have answered my questions, on the site.
Also thanks to Diddee for the chat last Sunday and Kristen for the shoe makers address.
I truly believe travel agents should mention the BTF to travelers ...especially those like me who have never been to Bali before.
Finally... Plan to get to S&S on Monday hope to see ya!
JBR on return.
