The Plan.

Barely a plan, and that was the point. One fireside chat on the last night, over the chef's dinner, to look back on the year. The rest was ours. Here's how the days ran.

How we got there and back

The flights.

Brisbane → Denpasar and back. Direct both ways on Jetstar's A321neo LR. Daytime, not a red-eye. Bali runs two hours behind Brisbane.

The Jetstar reality check. No free food or drink, buy onboard with a physical Visa/Mastercard, or eat at the airport. No seatback screens on the A321neo: download your stuff (Netflix offline, podcasts) and bring a power bank. Standard low-cost-carrier seat pitch. It's a daytime flight, not a red-eye. Bali is 2 hours behind Brisbane.

Wheels up, both ways. Out Monday on JQ57, home Friday night on JQ58. Now that you're back, leave a line in the guestbook → so the week doesn't just live in your camera roll.

What we sorted before we flew

The pre-flight list.

The boring-but-load-bearing bit, kept for the next crew that runs one of these.

The day-by-day

The agenda.

Active mornings, open afternoons. 2-3 hours of free time each day so no one was wrecked by Wednesday. The hero days: Tue was Waterbom; Wed the Balinese cooking class, then Potato Head for sunset; Thu private rafting and the chef dinner at the villa. Here's how each day ran.

11:50
Land in Bali.NBH covers the Visa on Arrival. Transfers organised with the villa, look for the sign.
~13:30
Arrive in Seminyak.Villa check-in is 3pm — knowing Bali traffic, that might line up perfectly. If we're early and the villa isn't ready yet, two options: stroll to the shops and grab drinks & snacks (Indomart / Coco Express are right at the end of the street), or find a nearby local restaurant and have lunch while we wait. Either way, no one's standing in a lobby.
15:00
Check in to the villa & settle in.Welcome drink, find your room, drop bags. You made it.
17:30
Dinner, ordered in.Chill night at the villa. Everyone's been up since ~4am, don't want to wreck ourselves. We'll order something delish to the property around 5:30 so it's here when the dancers start.
18:00
Welcome night, Balinese dance.Official welcome: traditional Balinese dancers come to us at the villa, drinks by the pool. Eat dinner while you watch — proper "you're in Bali" moment without anyone having to get in a car.
Heads-up
Pace yourself tonight.It's a long week. Don't peak on night one, there's still four days of pool, beach, beers and big nights to get through. Have a drink, have ten, just make sure you've got stamina to actually stay for the trip.
