find that half of my fun is in planning and researching and anticipating my Bali holiday. I am a bit of a fussbudget (my husband has more to say on this subject!) and I like to know exactly what I am doing and where I am going and I even plan what restaurants I would like to be at on a given day....That said - sometimes it doesn't work out and when we are in Bali I tend to de-stress and de-fuss I bit and don't always follow my itinerary! I book everything in advance and even some restaurants. I have even found a website that puts together an itinerary using email confirmations etc. into an itinerary. My husband could pick up his passport and a spare of undies and get on a plane today. Honestly do what makes you comfortable - some people would absolutely hate the way I plan my holidays, I am sure.
I am going in October with my sister and niece and they are more than happy to leave all the bookings, tickets, reservations, itinerary up to me. (I love it).
