I cant tell you enough how greatful I am, and I am sure many others, for the advice and encouragement given. I have come into work especially today so I could read all you messages and take some strength from them. Family and friends are very negative, and rightly so, however they have never been to Bali and dont understand the love that we all feel for the island and it's people. I am due to leave Melbourne on 23rd October and was considering postponing but now after reading all your messages I am convinced I should go. My thoughts are with all of those people affected now and to those of you who are due to travel soon and are struggling with the ultimate decision.
