Bali
Itinerary By Janet & Michael Gesner The goal of this schedule is to provide a more comprehensive travel guide than what you would find at a hotel. Rather than touching upon "just the high points," we want to see the real Bali. But, "we don't want to enlighten our souls at the expense of being on the road all day, every day." As you can see, we've left plenty of FREE TIME for our vacationers to use as they please. Example: There may be times when only some - but not all - of our friends will want to see a site or locale (or return to a previously visited one). As in previous trips, we look upon our traveling companions as collaborators. Their input and recommendations are important to everyone on the trip and weigh heavily on the final itinerary that will guide us throughout the wondrous isle of Bali. Even the FINAL DRAFT is subject - and bound - to change! Yes, our two week stay will be well structured but our schedule will always remain flexible to the needs and desires of our old and new friends. We look forward to hearing from YOU! Instead
of renting a single bus for our entire group, we've decided to charter
multiple vans for our stay. This will allow us more flexibility. Meal Times All Breakfasts will be at the Villa, normally at about 8 am. At times, our first meal of the day may be served as early as 7 am and as late as 8:30, depending on the day's schedule. Lunches will generally be served between 1 and 2 pm; Dinners at 7 - 8 pm.
