Have you been watching the coverage on the news with the large groups of people standing outside of the hotels getting ready to get on buses and they also showed some clips of the port. The people seem very calm and relaxed.
the orient queen should be docking in beirut in about 2 hours PER FOX NEWS, there was a delay as the israelis did block it but it has been allowed to pass on through.
Great news! It looks like our government HAS BEEN working to evacuate American citizens, hm? :o)
rebel...will you be making your way to this vessel?
While I understand that people are frustrated at this point, I am equally sure that the evacuees SAFETY is the primary focus here and also the cause of the holdup.
