"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 . . . ."

Glad to see you made it out safe and sound!

All kidding aside, welcome home! I am glad to see you are safely out of harm's way and look forward to seeing your pictures posted here on FR.
Glad to hear you made it out and will be home in the hot windy city soon! - If you think about it ping me when post your pictures.
Hooray! Glad you got out OK!
I'm so glad you're out safe and sound. :-)
Good news to hear. I suspect that things were not pretty over there!
All of us at FreeRepublic are watching one of our fellow freepers (what we call ourselves on freerepublic.com) that is stuck in Lebanon... We are conservative leaning group (of about 100,000 people strong)...
We know that he probable wishes he didn't go there, but he did (job assignment for the US and UN, money related)... His code name is "Rebel_Yell2 ... He is scared and needing direction on what to do to get out... as a scared person, he is sorta posting is all kinds of directions ... but he has a good strong history of supporting the President (votes and finaciallly thru RNC)... He is not an "anchor" citizen (lots of those so called "Americans" there are just in name only, but he is a true American. He is not one of those American there that spouts 'anti-Americanisms' like some of those that heart is with the terrorist.. He is as apple pie American as it gets... if you can get him help.. please do so..
My name is
