Don&#39;t know your gateway but I will be happy to pull up my fabulous stash of info (some from my nonrev brain, some from files) and pass along my knowledge to assist

I will recommend luxurylink.com for some incredible 3-5-7 night pkgs, as well as some smaller places outside of the main tourist areas.
It&#39;s a very small island and such wonderful people. Drivers are abundant but I have some personal recommendations if you need them TripAdvisor has TMI but good source if your sort thru it. Keep in mind most travelers go frequently, so if you want advice on a one-in-a-lifetime experience vs drinking on the crowded beaches with all those whacky Ozzies (no offense intended--it&#39;s the fave cheap vacation from what I can tell) I can help. We plan to return next year (it&#39;s that good!) but so far away...
Lemme know if I cna help more.[/b]
I&#39;ll take any info you can give. We are a UAL family so we are planning to go next week, ORD-HKG and spend a day or two there. After that, an ID90 on cathay (doesn&#39;t look like they do Zed&#39;s) will hopefully take us to Bali. We are a couple with two kids, 13 and 14, still looking for ideas on a place to stay. I don&#39;t want the drunken aussie on a crowded beach experience, but with the kids we can&#39;t stay at a zen retreat up in the hills either. Any ideas for something on a beach? Do you need a car there? I looked at luxury link but nothing seemed too appropriate for us. I have a work friend that mentioned it to me and he was very happy with what they had found.

Leaving we are going to try and go to SIN and spend a day or two. From there, back up to NRT on UAL and then over to HNL for a few more days of sun. After that, back home. So far, all of the loads make it look pretty doable.

I&#39;ve looked at Trip adviser some but would love to hear your recommendations and suggestions
Thanks!
