"I'm out!!! Got out on the Orient Queen yesterday to Larnaca. Am now in Athens and will be in Chicago tonight. More then. Feel free to share this, as I don't have time to post yet. Got lots of pictures of the evacuation. And about half of the passengers WERE NOT U.S. Citizens!!! Lebanese nationals with Green cards and what all. My group were almost the ONLY people speaking English. It was sickening. MAKE THEM ALL PAY!!! They were treating it as a vacation cruise oblivious that their country is being destroyed. We were so mad we couldn't stand it. I'm still steaming . . . ."
Rebel yell2 should do an interviw with Drudge. Matty's the only one with enough guts to get this story out.
Maybe someone would want to let Drudge know about this?
Hmmm, taken care of!
I'd watch that!
Peach is right. You can't handle the truth.
We're looking forward to your pics.
I am so glad to see you made it out ok, you have been in my prayers.
The conditions on that ship are deplorable. I heard from Doug McIntyre that they don't make the dealer hit a soft 17! Where's the outrage?!
Welcome Home rebel_yell2 ! Alot of freepers have been praying for your safe return home ;)
Thanks for the update!
Can't wait to hear more and see the pics!
Prayers answered. Welcome home.
LOL!
GREAT news. Am so glad you are home. Can't wait for your update.
Praise the LORD and post the photos!
Glad you're safe. Will be watching for your update.
Don't know how many TY2 threads there are, but I don't see my name on any posts here, so I'm adding one.
Welcome home!
Glad to see you missed out on the duck ride! After seeing a tour of the Orient Queen today, I can understand how the "3-hour tour" turned into a 5-hour, then 8-hour trip to Cyprus, lol. So many laps to swim in the pool, so many buffet meals to eat!
Do you think the fact that you went to Athens might have made a difference in the mix of passengers you were with? It seems to be a similar situation on the other flights that came in, but I've only seen a few interviews of those.
I believe the next flights in are to arrive at midnight tonight, 3Am and 4Am tomorrow. I'm trying to catch as many interviews as possible; but I hope someone is doing a better job of it than I am. So much to keep up with!
Have a good rest!
Yee-hah!! Glad to hear you are on your way back to the U.S. of A. rebel_yell2! Looking forward to your after action report.
Welcome Back! Glad you're ok.
Hooray for our side! Look forward to in depth after action report. Nothing like travel to broaden one's life experiences.
