In Reply to: Bomb ?? Should we cancel> posted by MikRenJas on Thursday, 1. September 2005 at 13:38 Bali Time:
We are due to fly out to Bali in a couple of weeks.
We are going with someone who has never been and now is considering cancelling as well because of everything that is happening over there.
We know that she has a choice but I personally think its a stupid one if choose to cancel because of something that might happen.
This person thinks they will get their money back through travel insurance then i said that that might not happen as they haven't ceased flights to bali rather warnings in which they do not cover. Thanks for that handy little tip formites :)
I just think its wrong that the media is so one sided about everything and tries to cause panic within the community.
I have tried the "we can't let terrorist beat us" card but that didn't seem to work. I also tried the "you could get killed by a bus on the way home to work today" one but that made her a little worried about going home rather then comforting her.
I guess at the end of the day its her decision but I will be a little disappointed in her.
