Well, the boys who were fortunate enough to have Bali Do 2005 drop by when it happened to coincide with their holiday probably won't have such fortuitous timing this year. It looks like I'll be arriving in SE Asia on May 26th but spending that weekend with Mr. Megatop in BKK. We're trying to decide between a beach/resort and a city vacation for the following week. Beijing is the leading contender. And Bali is on our list, as are other resort spots SQ serves (Maldives anyone?), but even if we do Bali we would probably arrive just as Bali Do 2006 is ending.
Paging cawhite60156... Out of idle curiosity (or a bit more), what's the 411 on accommodations for Bali Do 2006? Have you negotiated any kind of group rate from RC or the others?

MegatopLover -- No news yet on the RC rates for BaliDo2006, though I expect we'll start talking with them after I get back from EZE in October and can chat with ws8n about the tour we had. Currently in the process of soliciting rates from other properties....and in at least one case has been a bit, uh, "interesting"
Will keep y'all updated as we get more solid information to choose from.

<mod hat off>BTW, I will especially be interested in the trip reports from this Do and what all your perceptions are of local life after this round of attacks. This has got to be incredibily demoralizing for the people of Bali. </mod hat off>

I myself still see Bali as one of the destination I should go within the next one year. Probably for my vacation early next year. Been there so many times, and yet there are so many places I have yet to explore.
I guess there are risks everywhere, be it natural disaster or terrorism. Not only in Bali.
As what CGK says, wait and see. Still many more months to go to the DO.

I am returning to Bali at the end of October. I am not at all afraid to travel to Bali, it has become my second home. It makes me angry and sad to see that the terrorists have made a beautiful, magical and healing island a target of their terror once again.
By the way, here are some photos of my Westin Ocean Suite when I was there September 17-21, 2005.
