After a brief hiatus (due to a con travel agent, no less) we finally made it to Bali for my mom's company's Family Day. It was worth the wait - Bali is almost perfect as a tourist and holiday destination, for both couples and famillies. It has everything - the sun, beach, shopping, arts, culture & architecture, natural attractions (such as a live volcano with views similiar to Swiss Alps), etc. Plus everything is really cheap there due to the depreciation of the rupiah since early this year.
