Things that you are looking forward to

I’m going over with a very open mind. I don’t want to be comparing Bali to say, Thailand. What’s better etc.

It’s just a week or so out of the cold Melbourne winter. Eat, drink relax.

I'm heading over again in June, same deal, get away from the freezing cold to enjoy some heat.

I loved it last time, will be a little more relaxed this time as I don't need to do a few of the things I did last time. Having a minor hiccup though, the GF is coming with me but I think we have parted ways, will make it a tad awkward but we will remain friends and have agreed to still go.

Queen bed or singles?

There was a spare.

Thailand is miles better but the closeness of Bali to Australia holds the most appeal as many just head over for a week or less and Thailand is just that little bit further which turns some off.
We have been over a dozen times but Perth based work colleagues go over 3-4 times per year and even go there on long weekends for 2-3 days

I have a mate (yes, I know) that lives in SA but works FIFO out of WA, his work flies him to and fro where he opts to go, he goes to Bali most of the time instead of coming back home, he even got his girlfriend a job at the same mines so they do it together.

Yep, Perth to Adelaide is 3hrs each way and usually goes for around $400 return on special but can be $700+.
Perth to Bali in under 4hrs for $300 return. No brainer really
