register with smart traveller (you should anyway). Tell her you have done that. Give her a full itinerary, stay in touch with a mobile phone (sms her everyday letting her know stuff like 'lounging by the pool, having a cocktail for you'.
Assure her that tourist numbers to Bali are more now than before the terrorist attacks and that the government warning is a contentious issue for which there have been many calls to have removed or at least downgraded.
