Having A Holiday? or Planning One?
And why should you learn to plan ahead

I’d say that is good to have a holiday, and some of know why it is so important to break from routines and get into refresh mindset and some of us may discover ourselves better during holiday. Holiday lower down our high blood pressure and life stress including pressure at work, home or family.

Subconsciously when we are too busy our life and excitement in work or family gets burn out. This is not a good indication. A lot of people are planning holiday like a runaway solution from problem. Is good at one point but let’s see some other way to actually fully enjoy your holiday.

I learn that planning a holiday ahead is much better option than just planning it to fit in our hectic schedule.
The way to do it is simple. First you actually look at the calendar if you are in mid year then try to plan holiday like every quarter of year (once every 4 months). With this in mind, you will be more prepared physically, emotionally and spiritually. Imagine if you set your own holiday isn’t a cool thing to do? You plan it in your future. I happen to find if I plan ahead, I have more strategy as business owner to create income to support that holiday.

Since I like beach holiday rather than mountain top. I am looking for a place where I can easily access beach area without having too much to spend. I also get a few of my buddies to see if we can be on holiday together. Is good time to crash out and hang out, keeping in touch with them.

I also see the benefit of planning holiday ahead that when you work, you intend to have better expectation that there is a holiday after 4 months. This is something that motivates you better at work.

Recently, in beginning of June I went to Bali with fellow Internet Business Owner. Some of our meetings supposed to happen around June 5th - 7th, 2008. I had planned to go earlier so I have time for myself.
It was a thrilling experience, and I can say I am fully refresh and it is also part of rediscovering of who I am being fun with life and enjoy the gift of single hood.

Here are some of the activity I do in Day1. Oh yeah.. since where I live in Jakarta, Indonesia only take 1.5 hours to get to Bali then I decide to stay longer and also find a good lodging where I can take my good buddy Kevaz. He has helped me quite a lot with some projects and we are planning to do our own projects together. So I consider him like my sidekick, it was his first time to be in Bali. And it has been so many times for me but I never get bored as I always try a new thrill.

I stayed in a very nice place cottage around Sanur Beach area called the Bali Sukun Cottage, for just a U$30/nite for standard room. It is a no brainer to actually use their service. You might be thinking what kinda lodging did I choose. It was one of the best place to stay longer in Bali for 7 - 21 days or even more.
It provides you with Hot Water, Breakfast for 2, Airconditioner, Satellite TV inside the room and for Internet Junkies or Internet Business Owner like me it has WIFI connection.

My friend stephanie chin recommended the balinese massage of the cottage run by a japanese lady. She said it was one of the best, the price is around U$25 per massage but I say it is well worth it as she looks refresh after the massage.

Here are some of the Day 1, photo collection. I will tell you more about it why Bali should be your destination for holiday.
