Lombok is awesome, what part are you staying at?
Some of the waterfalls were absolutely amazing and the Gili's are absolutely superb. A lot more laid back and carefree than Bali and far better IMO

Had a great time and can recommend Lombok to anyone that wants a more relaxed experience. Where we stayed had plenty of restaurants and options for massage/beauty treatments. Not a heap of bars but there is enough to get by. The Sheraton Sengiggi Beach was a real winner.
Spent the last week in Tanjung Benoa at the Grand Mirage Resort with the All Inclusive option. My wallet pretty much stayed in the safe the whole trip as I did 90% of my eating and drinking within the resort. The main street is full of restaurants and bars and everything else you could possibly need.
I would gladly stay at both of these places again.

I stayed at the Sakala back in July, just down the road from the Grand Mirage. What did you think of the "strip" along the beach where all the water sports were and then the "main" street that takes you back to Nusa Dua?
We were a bit hit and miss along there for restaurants, Meads was good for the footy, Coco Express was the pick, Amigos was rubbish.
Only wish we knew about Pirate bay earlier as we would have made that our destination of choice.

18 hours later and a flight right around Australia including stopover in Cairns and she's back in Adelaide thanks to the volcano there.
Not even sure why she still goes there anyway after having her jaw broken there by a mugger on her first trip there just crosing the street to her hotel.
With the luck she's had with Bali I'd be trying a new destination if I was here!

Jetstar?
The most reliable way to Bali is through Garuda even with the volcano as they are the only airline given exclusive access to the military no fly zones. All other airlines have to take the route near the volcano so are at the mercy of the wind direction blowing the ash clouds. Whilst I still love the place there are much better places in Asia but can understand why those with a budget or time restraints choose to go there.

Jetstar or Qantas, every other company is still flying there. Different airline companies have different policies regarding how much ash/smoke can be in the atmosphere before its deemed safe.
