My condolences for Linda to her family, it is never easy to lose our love ones. I was there 8 years ago and I know they say these countries are safe to travel in, this is just not true. Arab countries are not safe so please all Canadians stay home, have people come visit you here. We do not have the history, it is not warm here but these arab countries are dangerous, the people do not think like us, you are a non believer, the Christians who could left a long time ago, they need money but let it not be your tourist money.
