Well, a few of us got in on the deal to BUH (OTP) and routed a stopover through Tripoli, Libya. Unfortunately, we are Americans. I guess it's rather difficult to get a visa to enter Libya from the little research I've gleaned. I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations on how to get a legal tourist visa for an American passport? I've read that they take many weeks, sometimes months, and may require a "sponsorship" from a tourist operation in Libya or a company if traveling on business. I've also read that the Libyan Embassy in Washington will not issue visas, but perhaps we can get it from the embassy in Canada?

Any ideas? If the tickets are honored, we'll be traveling in early August next year, so we do have some time. But if it's going to take time to get the visas, might as well get started now.

Thanks!
