Domestic flights are packed but not true for international. Airlines in the past have even offered very discounted business class for flying international during this period.

Depending where you are flying from the airport may even have an international terminal that is separate from the domestic terminals.

Jerrie and I went for 5 thanksgivings to Europe* on the cheap and unless one of our children gets around to inviting us pretty soon we just might make it six. :D

*oneworld considers the middle east to be in Europe

email sent to alex and BEYflyer... paging the rest of you .. let me know where to send directions for friday night ;)

Looking forward to our little BEY DO... So excited...

thanks to Naji, Alex and James.. great to see you and kick of the alcohol consumption in our new apartment, dinner on sat was great also.. not sure about that band though..

GK, thank you for having us at your place; mabrook once again. Had a great time and the company was even better...

Thanks GK and BEYFlyer for that nice invitation and thank you all for the great time....
the "band" wasnt that good , for sure...

but Charbel made up for it , hehehe

OK so next time is how far away exactly ? I know that SanDiego1K is planning to come here in late October.. but something before then would be good.

GK, Naji, thanks again for hosting a great do!

I'm now in Germany, and a little worse for wear due to that 03 am departure time, but already I'm trying to figure out when my next chance to head out your way will be.

After the dinner I met a girl at a place on Rue Monot that I would love to see again soon... ;) :D

Oh, and yes, I think we're all agreed as far as the band goes!

Glad you enjoyed your stay in Beirut... You certainly didn't waste any time on Rue Monot now did you :p :D ...

Granted the band was not that fantastic, but believe me, with time, you will learn to channel those awful sounds away and simply listen to those discussions you want to listen to... Give it some time... ;) ...

Booked
 

We are booked to BEY Sep 15-26

maybe for a weekend in May/June/July if i feel like and need a break!

Marking those dates in my calendar... I'll have my people call your people and plan something... :D

september ? way too far away... BEYflyer.. when are you coming over to our place for some 'laydee' entertainment ?

We're tentatively targeting the weekend of September 30. How is the weather at that time of year?

Weather should be fantastic by then; just coming out of hot and humid August. Look forward to meeting you SanDiego1K.

GK and BEYFlyer, the news accounts of the bombing of the runway of the Beirut Airport are very worrying. Are you all right? Will you be able to fly in and out of the country? Many of us are concerned about you, and would love to hear from you.
