a couple of days ago some parents withdrew their kids from the trip and told everyone to think seriously about not going as it is far too dangerous at the moment...we were joshing each other for being neurotic parents..we' re not joshing anymore. - Diog
That's terrible Diog. The terrorists are terrorising people to cancel travel plans. My parents had booked to go to NY in Dec 2001, and I remember pleading with them not to go. They refused to be terrorised, they said they had paid and were going. I was livid, because I was pregnant and gave birth on 20th Dec and wanted my parents to meet my new born son.
I really know how you feel. Obviously they came back safe. But they were telling me I was irrational. Doig you posted this four months ago and I missed it. I will send you a PM with the link in case you're offline for a while.
Kick50r, they cancelled the trip after the attack not before.
