Yes, I know you have all probably seen military personnel in Bali, but they wouldn't have permission to be there, and are doing it on thier own accord.
I am travelling up again, without my husband. Obviously they ( the Gov) think Bali is too much of a threat, compared with some of the places they send our boys?? Mind you, those places are all on the do not travel list. My friend recently flew to Rome to meet up with her husband serving in a current conflict, and he wasn't even allowed to fly into Dubai, to meet up with her flight!
