Wow. This sounds great culturally and helps by giving back to the local communites.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions, you were all a great help. Time to do a bit more research. Will definitely avoid staying in Kuta and no Bintang singlet for me.

Yes. Yes "Me no speak English" has helped in other countries.

Unfortunately neither of us SCUBA. We can snorkel though.

Thanks for the other suggestions. Just came back from Singapore and KL and been to other SEA locations, so just looking for another location to ecplore.

I have to accept the fact that I can't really avoid it on the flights, was more concerned when I land. Thanks for the suggestions.

I usually type up a general itinerary at home and then amend it on the go if something changes (either on paper or tablet). Timestamps photos assist me after the trip of where I went and when (and photo of any signage to help) and if there was something noteworthy on my travels I add it to my...

Oh and when the VA lounge in SYD has a pop-up Bundaberg Rum stall serving coughtails how can you say no?

Being a VA Red I don't get much chance to frequent the lounge but when I do I take advantage of it. Usually try every beer available (or work my way through the options). Don't ask about the food!!
