10 Day Bali Itinerary
Knowing what I know now, I think the following itinerary would be perfect for a 10 day vacation in Bali. It gives a great balance of tourist hits, culture, beaches, etc.
Day 1 & 2 - South Bali
Main hits -
Ulu watu temple and beach
Padang Padang beach
Kuta Beach
Eat a Roti-O, preferably at the Diskovery Mall. O. Heaven.

Tanah Lot Temple
Tips -
Rent a scooter! For 40,000 to 60,000, there is no better way to travel in Bali and isn't as scary as it first seems. Budget in cop bribe money. Though. Those punks are on the lookout for cash-- aka white skin.

Depending on the time of year, the beaches can be FILLED with trash, particularly Kuta in January. Bukit's beaches are a bit more protected, and Nusa Duas are cleaned by the resorts.
This is a very busy part of Bali, and there are vendors and tourist everywhere. It makes it fun, but a little crazy. Keep an eye out for people offering you to check out a new hotel. Take them up on it! If you are the right age, etc., you can get free dinner, free trips, free vacations, etc., out of it. Just make sure the guys tell you ALL the details. They will do anything to get money.
Day 3, 4, 5 - Ubud (2 hour drive)
Main hits -
Monkey Temple Sanctuary
Gunung Kawi
Massage!
Balinese dance
Yoga or art class
Sukawati market and wood shops
Mango lassi
Tips -
Day 6, 7, 8 - Amed and Tulamben (3+ hour drive)
Main hits -
Scuba dive Liberty shipwreck
Snorkel Japanese fishing boat wreck in Aas
Get lost on back roads
Snorkel in Jumeleck
Eat sea food on the beach front
Watch the sunrise (something you can't help with the jet lag)
Ride a fishing boat
Tips -
Amed is made up of 4ish coastal fishing and tourism villages. These towns are located on the far east side of Bali. They have super narrow roads, a million guest houses and restaurants (lots of competition), amazing snorkeling and scuba diving, astounding views, misty mountains, and lush jungles and rice paddies. It is the most beautiful area I have ever seen in my entire life.
Day 9 & 10 - Lovina (3+ hours from Tulamben)
Hits -
Hot springs
Dolphins
Clean beach swimming
