Jeff and I found Indonesia to be lush and fascinating and both the Java portion and the Bali portion were fantastic in different ways.  I would like to report that we were in good company with travelers from every point in the globe, but as Americans we were welcomed with open arms in appreciation for our willingness to overlook past security issues.  In fact, the level of security we witnessed in all tourist venues gave us a sense of safety in excess that we feel in our neighborhood in Atlanta.
