This is exactly what we have done many times in the past and will be doing again in about 4 weeks time. We stay a few days in Kuta and then head into the country side. We do similar to what Grech said. We drive either up the East Coast and then head down the middle or vice versa. We normally stay Ubud, Kintamani, Lovina, Candi Dasa for a night or two at each place (only 1 day Kintamani, not much to do there). Mt Agung at the top is spectacular and IMHO the beaches are much better down the East Coast than in the south. Make sure you have all your papers because occassionally they have road blocks where the police will check your license and passport etc. Can't think of any other suggestions as it all pretty easy. Those that stay in the tourist area of Bali don't get to see the real beauty of the island.
