That is a long way, but I mean to tell you, it will definately be very worth it. Bali is great. One of my favorites. I was there three times, and loved it every time. I was last there in 1999. I was working in Saipan, which was about a 6 hour flight. Thing about Bali is the latest bombings there from radical Islamist. LEGIAN street I must have walked around about a hundred times up and down. That was the scene of an attack that killed over 200 Ausies around 2003. I thank God I wasn't there when that happened. Don't let that stop you but I would stay away from large FOREIGN crowds at the bars. Go north to UBUD or elsewhere around the island. Go see BARONG volcano.
