I need a vacation! <lol>

[Sparklette]

My go-to island vacation is north Bali. Last August/September was my most recent trip and rented a 3 bedroom private villa with full staff for just under $1100 for the week. Probably another $200 with tips, but you can do less. The villa i had that time had a cook that was amazing, just had to choose a menu and give them cash for groceries....and it was way better and cheaper than eating out. I've flown there via Taipei and Hong Kong and would suggest Taipei between the 2 just because the airport is less catered to big spenders. The biggest issue most folk have with North bali is it is like 4 hours of ground transport after all the flying, so some might prefer to spend their first night on island in Kuta near the airport, but then you are in the thick of party party nightlife and everything is pricier.
