We have never had a problem going back over the years since 1988 - during the fallout of various problems.
The two of us have been there either during or just after. We did greatly help the economy at all times.
It is always quiet in November - kids at school in Australia - final exams and the wonderful Christmas concerts. (Do I remember sewing all those costumes).
So very few ankle biters and not many badly behaved children.
When people arrange and pay for their holidays and it all goes pear shape they usually do either of the following:
Having paid the money and no refund - have to pay the mortgage so there is no chance of a holiday overseas this year.Very sad.
Change the destination - then they will have had a holiday and be able to compare the destination with Bali.
cheers
