Tomorrow (Thursday) I will be heading out for my Spring Break in Beirut, Lebanon and Jordan. If you have the followed the news at all for the last two months at least, you will know that these countries are in the Middle East and this region is being especially unstable these days. Neither Lebanon and Jordan have not been immune to this instability, but as of this minute (it could change at any time) they are both peaceful and (relatively) stable.
Some people may think that I'm crazy to be visiting the Middle East at this time or at all, but when I thought about how close and accessible it was from Turkey, I figured that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity that shouldn't be passed up.
I'll be traveling with 4 other friends, so hopefully there will be safety in numbers. Whatever happens, I promise I will blog about it when I get back from Istanbul, and I'm sure it will be interesting ;)
