Safe in London

We arrived very late Saturday night in London and we're staying for (at least) two nights at a hotel near the airport. Tomorrow (Sunday) we'll watch the news, talk, and think about our plan for the next few days.

While we'd love to travel and see the country, our hearts just aren't in it for the time being. From the news, it appears that things are slowly escalating in the Middle East and while Jerusalem still appears to be completely safe, I wonder what will happen over the next few days. Overall, I think we were just early in our evacuation; perhaps we were trend setters? :)

It's stressful to see and hear the stories of French, British, and American citizens struggling to leave Lebanon, where the only international airport was damaged. It appears that most who want to leave that country will have to take a boat to Cyprus and from there, a commercial flight.
