Trying for Big in Boise asked:
I’m sorry for all the people there and what’s happening. Really.
But, what about being a bit cautious about picking destination spots that are on the State Department’s lists of places to avoid?
Was Lebanon a top pick of yours for vacation spots a few weeks ago?
No Thank you !
No – cuz I know that us Americans have become the most-hated people on the globe since you-know-who became prez . Stay home and vacation right here this millennium
no – never has been – but in the 70’s a friend visited her lebanon homeland and it was heartbreaking to hear her tell how her beautiful country was such a battle field thats almost 40 years of war – how sad
yeah, I was going to do a mid-east tour in August…you know, few days on the beach in Gaza, then gambling in Beirut, hiking thorough Syria, and sightseeing in Basra, Iraq. Next year I’ll be going on a safari in Darfur, Sudan! Or maybe hitchhiking across Afghanistan….hmmm
You are right!
Well I don’t agree with any of you. I would have loved togo to Lebanon. Also Iran and Syria and Jordan and Palestian.
My top pick is Iran too bad it is so hard to get a visa.
I was supposed to be at the American University of Beirut studying Arabic this summer, but my mom was sick so I stayed. Most of the time, Lebanon’s only dangerous if you **** of Hezbollah or do something else that’s stupid.
Lebanon has been on my list for a while now, I was considering venturing there later this year or early next year. I visited Syria, Jordan & UAE in April and have never travelled anywhere in my life where I felt safer…. I am off to Iran in December and really looking forward to it … just hope certain politicians can keep there fingers off the buttons and don’t start bombing before I get there… bad enough they have earthquakes without the added threat of cowboys…. When I spoke to Iranian consulate they gave impression that I should have no problem obtaining visa and no I am neither Arabic or Persian
