Babes in Bali Adventures - Fall, 2011

BABES IN BALI UPDATE

94 sleeps till I'm off to Bali for my 22nd trip. The good news is that I still have 2 spots left on the October 22nd departure. The November departure is completely sold out but you could always put your name on the waiting list.

OCTOBER 22 - NOVEMBER 5, 2011

We'll be spending the first 7 nights in UBUD at a fabulous new property called the Rasa Sayang Hotel. It's right on Monkey Forest Road, famous for many lovely shops and restaurants. I discovered this little gem of a hotel while in Bali in March and immediately booked it for the October group.

While in Ubud, our days will be busy, busy, busy. You can learn to cook Balinese food, ride an elephant, attend a purification ceremony, walk in the beautiful rice fields, spend the day at the spa, wander through colorful markets, watch a graceful Balinese dance performance at the beautiful Ubud Palace and of course get to know the other 14 amazing women that you'll be exploring Bali with.

Then we're off to the beach and I promise you, you'll have lots of free time here. A fun-filled day will be spent snorkelling at Nusa Lembongan Island and we'll also visit 2 beautiful temples, Tanah Lot and Uluwatu, both perched on the ocean. You'll love the Padma Hotel - our home for 7 blissful days. Situated on Legian Beach, we'll be in the heart of more shopping and restaurants or if you just want to relax, you can go for long walks on the beach or pamper yourself in their lovely spa.

The land cost is $3388 per person based on twin sharing. Incredible value when you see what's included. Plus I'll be with you the entire time and would love to share my love for Bali with you.

Grab your best friend or come on your own...either way you'll be glad you decided to make 2011 the year to treat yourself with an amazing travel experience to Bali.

Comments from the Babes in Bali Alumni:

“Well what can I say - I keep coming back for more! This was my third trip with you and you are truly one of a kind! Your knowledge of the country and its people allowed us to experience things and events that just would not otherwise be possible. Your trip has a nice balance of culture, shopping,relaxing, touring and having fun. This last trip added the orphanage and blessing at both Tanah Lot and the holy spring which were all very special and not to be found in a regular trip. The group was great and there was something and someone for everyone. Maybe a 4th? Who knows perhaps a couples one.” Holly-Calgary (Nov '03, Nov '05, Nov '10)

“Amazing journey thanks to you Cathy. It was your knowledge, connections, patience, kindness and ‘always eager to assist’ attitude that made this holiday one that will live in my memory and heart forever. I have told many people that this was not just a holiday but an incredible journey into a beautiful culture. You knew where to take us, what restaurants we should eat at, what places to sleep at and of course where to shop! Because of your experience and knowledge we were allowed into the hearts of the Balinese people...and that is where the journey began! Thank you Cathy for giving me an experience not just a holiday!!” Diane - Calgary (Nov ‘10)
