Hi Phil, just back from my 5th trip to Bali since first bombing so obviously I feel reasonably safe going back. We took our two children several months after the first bomb. I have recently travelled to SE ASIA twice and I felt as safe in Bali as I did there. No one can guarantee your safety anywhere in the world these days. I take general precautions wherever I am, there are certainly countries that I would never travel to currently in the world Iraq and Afghanistan to mention two. Daughter and I were just near where one of the bombs went off in the second bombing the saturday night before but it didn't deter me from travelling again. Only you can decide what chances you are willing to take with your families safety but if you try too hard to ensure safety you may never leave your home. cheers kim
