What we have learned in our years of traveling to different places - always expect the unexpected.
You may remember on our last trip to Africa, we found out about a week before our departure that South African Airways was shut down with a strike. We survived that - without luggage for 2 weeks - so we can survive most things that get thrown at us.
This morning we learned from our Libyan friends that the Libyan government changed their entrance requirements and didn't tell anyone. They now require everyone entering or exiting Libya have an Arabic translation of their passport. There were several tourists that arrived and had to turn around and go back. Some tourists who were already in Libya couldn't leave because they didn't have the translation - doesn't always make sense!!
Check out this story in the International Herald Tribune - it is kinda funny - mostly because we aren't there suffering through it!!
Now we are attempting to get our passports translated and waiting for the next curve ball!
