Bali or Bintan?

Ok… now I am torn between these 2 choices… It’s either Bali alone or Bintan with my parents & estelle (provided I can get them along)… If they dun want to go, I think the answer is quite clear… Hmm, let me list out the pros and cons of each:-

Bali (if go, will be going alone cos’ my guy has confirmed that he dun have any more leave left)

i)  Cheaper than family trip to Bintan… Airfare + accomodation at Holiday Inn = $1,400 Expenditure for myself only… can spend more on booze.. hehe…

ii) Alone time + free to do whatever I want

iii) Long holiday, fares is quoted for 9D8N trip…

iv) Further than Bintan.. the further you travel, the more relaxed you are… hehe…

v) Going alone so might be a bit lonesome.. moreover never been to Bali.. however, did it before in Phuket so this con doesn’t really count… hehe… but will miss my guy lots…

Bintan with my parents and Estelle (provided I can get them to go as I mentioned)

i) Family travel trip… haven’t done that since when I was in primary school I think??? 

ii) As location is near, can bring Estelle along…

iii) Expensive… 2 bedroom villa + ferry fees = $2200  Expenditure for all will be more…

iv) Got to cater to needs of parents and estelle (afternoon nap lah, cannot eat that or this lah etc)

v) short holiday, price quoted is for 4D3N

vi) Good bonding time… moreover never brought my parents overseas also… maybe it’s time… as for Estelle, yes, never brought her overseas but she’s too young to remember anything… however, i know we will have lots of fun at the sea-front-private-pool villa!!!! hehe… anyway, promised her to bring her to Disneyland when she grows older, maybe in primary school (actually is I want to go again myself :P) hehe…

vii) they will feel bored while I’m busy sun tanning!!!! hehe…

Oh well… actually may not have to consider so much cos’ I’m quite doubtful that my parents will agree due to work committments and dog committments (there’s a dog at home so feeding may be a problem)… that is why I had asked my brother if he can help out these few days to feed the dog so we can go… he haven’t replied… if yes, then will ask my parents and also my ex in-laws to see if estelle can make it too… hehe…

Though Bali is very tempting… arrggghhhh… but I will feel good if my family is happy also… and the villa will be nice… hehe… okay, so set… Bintan with family first choice.. Bali with Ivy, myself and me will be second choice…
