While it was quite safe when we were there last week, you should check the Web to ensure that the Congress is progressing peacefully. A Reuters story said that there were about 1 million people at the Congress, and that there had been several murders in the Java port town where people catch the ferry to Bali. http://cnn.com/WORLD/asiapcf/9810/08/RB001001.reut.html
However, I would guess that Bali is safe, but you probably don't want to hang around the South Coast until the Congress is over
