The Trip is On...YEAH!!!

So we finally bought our tickets for our trip to Bali. We ended up purchasing them on priceline and were able to find the best price for the four different itineraries we were buying tickets for that routed through Atlanta and Seoul on the same flight. Now our trip is just five months away and we can't wait!! During our stay in Bali we will be staying in several different locations on the island.

The first part of our stay will be in Negara which is located in the western part of the island because this is where Putu is from and where his family lives. This is also where we will be married on July 2nd followed by the reception on July 3rd. Unlike here in the United States our ceremony in Bali will be an entire day which will include around 500 people or so. Our reception will also be another full day in itself and will include much closer to 2500 people or so. I am both excited and nervous since this will be the first time I meet his family although we have talked over the phone and webcam. 

We will also be staying in Ubud for a week which is located in the southern part of the island and where more of the tourist activities are located. Ubud is known for being the cultural and art hub of Bali and is more relaxing than Denpasar or Kuta. 

Our final stay and honeymoon will be in Lovina located in the northern part of the island. Lovina is known for dolphin watching which is what I really hope to see. Keep in mind that we are also traveling during Bali's high season due to being in school. Due to that costs for tickets will be more expensive than if we were traveling during the low season. Hotel costs and such won't vary much but we will keep you informed. Good reading and we will let you know the costs as they occur. The total costs of four tickets was $6,892 which included flights based out of Atlanta, Raleigh, and Ft. Myers. We were estimating around $1800-2000 per ticket. We ended up find the tickets for an average cost of less than what we predicted so we were happy about that. That is all the time I have today. Stay tuned for more information in regards to the hotels we plan on staying at and some of the activities we have planned.
