Right. Decision made - I'm going!
I may badger some of you with PMs but I've not seen enough to put me off (other the the old airport road being controlled by Hezbollah...!)
Not going to upgrade - I'll spend the £800 I don't have on food/drink! (Or probably give in and pay closer to the time and spend more £££ in Beirut!)
It's been good to get knowledge from people in the know because there's a lot of contradictory info out there.
LTN - I have checked and I am covered so all good!
Thanks everyone. Exciting times!
