J? Could be Jakarta the capital or Jogyakarta which is in central java. My family drove to Bali from Jakarta. Took us maybe 3 days then we ferried there. I love Bali. Only thing I feel is that its too tourisy if you know what I mean. The whole island is centered around tourism. There are two main beaches. Kuta and Sanur. Kuta is where almost everybody goes. Sanur is less crowded. You might want to check out Lombok which is the neighbour island. It is about 5 years behind Bali in terms of tourism. But Bali is so cool for partying. Just my two cents worth from living in Indonesia for 16 years.
