anyone scheduled to travel??
anyone here scheduled to travel internationally in the next couple weeks?
have those plans been cancelled or postponed due to the state of the world? i've heard that some companies have started pulling their ex-pats out of the middle east and have stopped flights in certain areas. i think mine is on the verge as well. also, anyone know of a site that lists different government's travel advisories (ie, the US has advised citizens to leave saudi). thanks. |

other engineering firms are holding people back. i'm now scheduled to leave on the 28th. in all likelihood, we'll decide on the 27th or something.
i've found the US state departments international travel advisories. the search continues for canada's. we've not heightened our alert status however. the only thing i can find so far is regarding not travelling to saudi during hajj (which ended a couple days ago) due to increases traffic essentially. oh, found some more: "ATTENTION Heightened tensions as a result of the Iraq situation, together with increased threats globally from terrorism, put Canadians at greater risk. Canadians should maintain a high level of personal security awareness at all times as the security situation could deteriorate rapidly without notice. Exercise extreme caution, particularly in commercial, public and tourist areas frequented by foreigners. Canadians should monitor local developments, avoid crowds and demonstrations, as well as register and remain in regular contact with the nearest Canadian government office (see below) or the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (call collect 613-996-8885)." so basically, just extra care and diligence. great. |
