Wes -
I was just there for a short trip in January - had everything packed and ready w/ the K-30, 18-135, FA 43 and DA 15, but at the last minute found out about weight restrictions on small planes we took for other legs of the trip, so settled on the wife's Nikon 1 w/ kit lens and 50mm f/1.8 to save space/weight. Anyways, I would agree, the combo of the 18-135, 15, 40 and K-5 would have been my preference in the long run. Either way, ended up with some great shots from Ubud and Seminyak - I wished I had the Pentax WR when we were caught in a deluge in the monkey forest in Ubud (which I would highly recommend BTW), but ended up shielding the camera with my hand above it and it was fine
We had zero issues with finding a power source to charge all our batteries, just bring a wall adapter and power strip that's OK w/ 240V (
this worked great and is super compact) - the Pentax chargers/adapters (and phone/tablet for that matter) you have are good for 100-240V so no worries about a converter (or grip unless your sole purpose is photography). Enjoy your trip - get lots of massages (super cheap), and interact with the locals, they're great! Food is amazing, if you can attend a Balinese dance, do it. Leave the white socks at home and you won't look so American
I think we were the only Americans at our resort, mostly Aussies & Europeans.
