Exclusion
Flying into Bali
- Return flights from your home country to Bali are not included in this retreat.
- Please be aware that the first day of your retreat and the last day of your retreat are travel days. For example, if a retreat starts on 4 May to 16 May, you have to fly in on 4 May, and 16 May is the day you fly out.
- When booking, please aim to land in Bali early afternoon on your first day, and exit Bali in the early evening / late night on the last day.
- If you wish to fly in earlier be sure to book your own accommodation in Sanur – as Wacky Jacky’s does not book for you.
What You Need to Bring
Extra Luggage
- Since shopping is guaranteed, you need lots of space in the luggage! 😜
- For the same reason, I also suggest you to get extra baggage for your flight back home, as airlines can be strict with their luggage regulation.
- However, if it still exceeds, we can help arrange shipping at your own cost.
Patterns and Samples
- Bring your favourite patterns for quilting/any textile projects so you can preplan your fabric shopping.
- Since we also offer tailoring services, you can also bring your favourite dress/tops/bottoms as samples for our tailors.
Cash and Cards
- You will need spending money for lunch, dinners, drinks, souvenirs, optional tours and shopping days etc.
- Though not all, most places accept cards in Bali (like in my shop and cafe). I suggest bringing a little bit of cash and converting it in Candidasa, or you can lend some from me to be paid back later. Plenty of money changers in Candidasa.
- Avoid converting it in the airport as it may delay the group's collective arrival.
Suggested Attires
- Loose, cooling clothes as Bali can get both hot and humid.
- Bathers for swimming and beach days.
- Flip-flops and good walking shoes for our adventure.
- Last but not least, your sunscreen. I suggest the non-stick one so you can wear it all over your face and body.
Sense of Humour
- Sense of humour and easygoing approach to the Balinese people as they are one of the friendliest people on earth and really like to talk to guests.
