This time, it's on crowded Saturday night, at a night club in Bali -- a block away from the hotel we plan to stay at starting Wednesday night.

For context, Bali is to Australia what Cancun is to Americans (or Ibiza is to the Brits)--a place to go for a very good, though inexpensive, partying vacation. Of the dead, I'd suspect at least 2/3rds are tourists, and at least half are Australian.

Some people in Bali that Sky News is interviewing are saying that it's an LP gas cylinder explosion. Still, it's suspicious that it happened on a Saturday night, during the crowded Australian school holidays.

Radio here today in London has been reporting that the British Foreign Office is advising against travel to Bali. (I checked their website and the warning is not yet posted.)

Any other options?

Main thing --- STAY SAFE!!!

We love you!
