I had been bugging wifey to go on a holiday trip for a long long time but due our own work schedule, it had not materialised. Am kinda still pushing for it all the time and finally it happened.It happened one day when wifey came over my house after his lessons ended early. Was planning to make-love with him in my room but he was not comfortable as of yet to try that out. Basically we were just surfing the internet and chit-chatting with the T.V. on (distraction for my family). Can't remember exactly how he started to browse on Bali hotels and the next thing we knew, we started discussing our budget to go for our first honeymoon.
Due to the tight budget we suggested either Hong Kong, Bali, or KL. In the end Bali seem to be more affordable based on his experiences in Bali. So, we started looking through lots of different hotels in Bali on the internet, calculating the rates and also deciding which hotel to stay. Finally we chanced upon a hotel which is affordable and nice at the same time. Hotel Samsara.
Hotel Samsara is a new hotel located in the heart of Kuta, Legian Beach, surrounded by shops and restaurants. It is a wonderful base for our Bali vacation because of the location in Jalan Legian Kuta. Samsara also kinda gives us a small Bali Resort feeling with tidy tropical gardens. Most important, Samsara provides different types of spa and massages which we are aim to go for in Bali since doing spa and massage in Singapore is freaking expensive. Overall, we do felt that Samsara should be value for money.
So, there we go, and straightaway we booked the hotel room for 3 nights. The best part of all, we booked the hotel room first without booking any flights to Bali. It is quite the opposite of what most people does. So far, people will book flight first as they can always find lodging after arriving at a foreign country, regardless it's expensive hotel or lower priced bunkers-inn. Thus, the more common way is to book a flight first. However, me and wifey are pretty opposite and what we did is sure out of the norm. After booking the room then we started to wonder what if we are unable to get a flight there or our budget is not enough to get a flight there... pretty weird couple hur?
But actually worrying over this issue is totally stupid. Wifey has always been very resouceful although last minute person. So again through the website he surfed and checked. Finally comparing the prices and the timing, wifey managed to single out one of the new airline that provides good timing of flight and also relatively cheap - LionAir.
Lionair is not really new but for flight from Singapore to Bali Tempasa, it is consider a new added route. Thus they are giving offers for the first few flights and the amount is only S$9.00 per person exclusive of all the fuel and airport charges. It is considered cheaper than other airlines already even after we add on the charges. Most importantly, the flight leaves Singapore early morning and flies back to Singapore late night. That enables us to have more time to spend in Bali, making our travel more worthwhile. Another factor which I considered good about Lionair is their aircraft type. They are flying a Boeing 737-900 which is more stable in the air compared to Tiger Airways etc. I wanna travel safely to Bali and back to Singapore with my wifey.
So, we booked the flight for two persons. Our honeymoon trip is set from 7th June 2008 to 10th June 2008. Am so looking forward to this trip.
"I LOVE YOU WIFEY SHAARI."
"THANK YOU FOR AGREEING TO GO HONEYMOON WITH ME."
