Hi, I will be honest with you, myself and my husband have been thinking the same thing, and although people dont want to hear this question, we are only human and of coursewe are going to be concerned especially where kids are involved. I am going this Sundaywith myhusband and 2 young children. This holiday wasplanneda while back when none of the goings on were happening. ( although we did know it had a travel warning )
I have spoken to a lot ofpeople and have ahd loads of comments that they are suprised I am still going. But I have also hadcomments "go, enjoy and shop shop shop !!"
I have spoken to 3 people (family & friends ) who have come back over the past week and they have all said that there is more info and panic here in Oz than over in Bali. Also my cousin has a close friend who lives over there and he has assured her it is business as usual, although security is a lot tighter. ( Just like it would be anywhere in this situation ) I also have an aunt due in tonight whoI will speak tomorrow.
I can not make your mind up, just like I can not say nothing will happen over there....or here either.
But all I can say is that at present we will be getting on the plane on Sunday and having a lovely holiday.
Hope you go and have fun too...
