Please, still go to Jogja, for the day trip/overnight... That place needs your support as much as Bali!!
I(im aussie) was there at Xmas for two weeks, spending xmas and new year with my boyfriends family... During the whole two weeks i only saw 4 other tourists. And it used to be full of tourists. but the terrorists have scared them away from Jogja and Jave as well.
I understand that the airport is in ruins at the moment, but you can use that as a excuse to visit nearby solo or semarang..and then take an hours drive to Jogja from there :)
The rumour started of a tsunami because...young kids with nothing better to do, spedup the road on motorbikes screaming WATER!! WATER!!! and sped off again.
