when we’re in Tunis. Yep, that’s right. We’re supposed to go to Tunisia on Wed. However, since there is currently a government imposed curfew from 7pm to 6 am and our flight doesn’t arrive until 9:30 pm and I am NOT sleeping in an airport again if I can
help it . . . I don’t know what is actually going to happen. Not to mention all the rioting people in the streets and the rock throwing and the buildings being set on fire . . .
I can’t see us actually being able to go, but since it’s currently the weekend here, Josh is going to wait until people get back to work on Sunday and then make some phone calls.
In case you didn’t know what is happening in Tunisia, here are a few links:
(Shh! I didn’t know anything was happening either until last night when a friend asked if the riots were going to interrupt our travel plans. Huh? Riots? I could tell you that Kelsey Grammer and his wife are splitting up and Victoria Beckham is having another baby, but the news about Tunisa didn’t appear in my entertainment news feed. Oops.)

UPDATE: We’re not going. Hopefully we can reschedule this trip for May. At least I don’t have to pack now. I wasn’t looking forward to dragging the suitcases out of the closet since we haven’t even fully moved in yet.
MOST RECENT UPDATE: The military has taken over the country, the president has fled, and the airports are closed. I guess that takes care of any doubts of whether we should have gone or not.
