Image
Suggested Itinerary: 6days and 5nights Recommended for groups who have explored Southern Bali, who love nature and for families travelling with children. A rule about itinerary is to make it flexible - as much as possible. Planning is extremely important to avoid hiccups especially when travelling with young children. Do note that Bali weather is extremely hot and humid.  Day 1 Arrival at Bali Airport (assuming morning flight) Check in to the hotel (within 30mins from the hotel) Head out for lunch immediately Visit Garuda Wishnu Kenchana after lunch.

As I stare into the rain drops, I am reminded of our stay in UBUD (Bali, Indonesia). Hence, I decided to start my blog writing with our Bali 2019 holiday. It was our 10th wedding anniversary holiday (Mar 2019) and I was eagerly waiting to board our flight from Singapore to Bali.

Travelled: September 2018 Every big holiday needs a pre-holiday trip to somewhere. While planning our 10th wedding anniversary trip, we came across some mileage fares on Singapore Airlines (basically you pay lesser miles to redeem a ticket). Great reason to travel ya? Without thinking or any research, we went ahead and just booked our tickets to Male. Every good holiday needs planning and adequate research to avoid disappointment. There are many people who love to travel without planning (it is their personal choice and I call them free-spirited), but I prefer a good research and planning prior to my travels. This is to avoid last minute disappointments and to save time. Corporate slaves like me don't have the luxury of many leaves per year hence, we need to make the most of what we get. We spent days and nights searching for the perfect place to stay. Those who know about Maldives would know that there are 1192 islands (26 atolls) which form Maldives. Every resort is locat
