Thanks for the info! 29Palms and the referrla mig
We're arriving 3am and staying at Accor Mercure for a bed w/ID rate.
Off next day w/driver to Amed NE coast for 3 nights--either Anda Amed or Blue Moon villas--both VERY small--$60ish night--up on hilside above beach (dark sand tho but we like pools!) Surprising hubby with dive day and I hit the spas.

Will look into Barong volcano as we are staying in Ubud for 4 nights and will have been to Agung volcano and the lake there. We have total 8 nights on island and plan to make this just our FIRST visit. We actually don't care much fro the chaotic tourist streets, but will certainly be cautious.

I also went back to Guamgirls article since she enticed me to see Guatemala in June. I am soooooo ready!

We're using Delta to Korea and miles for real confirmed business class RT seats on KE to Bali. That gets us priv at the KE lounges--ICN has one that babies you--more people serving and cleaning than pax...Awesome--showers, champers, great eats, wifi and more...Of course, I blew all my miles so we'll be dependent on the NW merger routes for next trip. We'll have some long layovers but at least they'll be in style...
thanks again, all--more advice is appreciated!@
