Although I enjoy a good beach, I am more likely to bounce around and see what makes a place so special. if I encounter a nice beach along the way, well . . . bonus!

Regarding "incidents" I don't even bother. It was far more likely that I would be onboard TW800 (TW F/A at the time) than Bali for a bombing, or any of the other 10,000 explosions, kidnapings, riots, unrest across the globe any given time.

I would rather run down central Bagdad with a 10' US flag than take the bus through Newark after midnight Since I choose to do this (Newark) frequently, I could call it preparing to deploy.

On subject, I am leaning towards Bali.
