Terrorism and tourism
Danni and I have a cruise booked for later this year which will take us out of
the country. It will take us to certain areas of the world which recently have been in the news as terrorist targets. Up until yesterday when word of the death by beheading of Nick Berg suddenly made me aware that there are people out there who really hate us, I was hot to trot, but now I am starting to re-think my decision. Macho me wants to say that terrorism will not alter my plans, but my responsibility as a parent has me giving the trip second thoughts. Does anyone have any sage advice to offer me?

Skipping the Mid-East might be a good idea. Mila "Dick Goldhaber" wrote in message ... Danni and I have a cruise booked for later this year which will take us out of the country.

Dick... If you ever get on a cruise ship and notice that one of the
Chefs bears a strong resemblance to Steven Segal, be on the look-out. ...Otherwise, put your trust in the Captain, turn CNN off, relax and enjoy the cruise. ...Jon |

You are currently in the biggest terrorist target on the planet if you
caught any of the news today. So by definition, anyplace else on the planet but the United States has to be safer. Unless you are going to a place with active terrorist activity, I wouldn't worry about it. And there aren't many cruises running to those places. "Dick Goldhaber" wrote in message ...
