So sorry didnt mean to worry you :(

My post was "toungue in cheek" you know "Christmas" / "Jinglebells", a very poor attempt at a joke.

As far as I am concerned, an attack could happen anywhere and at any time (even in Australia).

If we dont go somewhere, because there is a warning from DFAT, then the dirty filthy rotten scoundrels have won and we dont get to have a good time and live our lives normally.

DFAT has has this warning for years and if I had acted on it, I would have missed 4 fantastic holidays to Bali. I refuse to let them have that kind of power over me !

Last month entering a nightclub (Sky Garden), there were 5 bouncers at the entrance. They thoroughly checked my "tiny" handbag and everyone entering the club. I guess a suicide bomber carrying a backpack could do some damage blowing up the entrance :( but that would probably be as far as they would get.

I continue to believe that the people of Bali are smart and vigilant and will do their best in preventing another tragedy from happening.

I am sure and sincerely hope you and your family have a fantastic holiday this Christmas and please post a JBR so we can read all about your happy and fun times :)
