I don't blame your wife one bit! Just look at the news stories that are in the media yesterday and today. I just saw one at http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/nati...ttendants.html <BR>which says that the Association of Flight Attendants states Flight Security Isn't Better at all than it was before Sept 11th. And the FBI has released a very well publicized announcement yesterday that they expect a terrorist event to happen somewhere in the next few days.

I don't understand why some of you are meddling in Kent's marriage. Whether Kent and his wife decide go to the UK or Las Vegas it is a decision that is to be made between the two of them, not any of you airing your grievances. Why not be supportive instead of being mean about it? Kent, enjoy doing your research on Las Vegas, I am sure it will be just as interesting as your research on London.

I had a friend recently point out an anaolgy to being frightened of traveling since his wife was of the same mind as Kent's. <BR> <BR>You don't pick on people for being scared of the water because of a recent shark attack. <BR> <BR>Think about it!

Some more ideas for Las Vegas fun: <BR>The Voodoo Lounge at the top of the Rio Hotel,best view in LV. Lunch at Olives in the Bellagio,on the terrace,right next to the lake with the dancing fountains or dinner at Circo in the Bellagio with the same view.Must see = Cirque du Soleil's "O" or Mystere, Danny Gans at the Mirage, Freebies=the Pirates battle at Treasure Island,the white tigers at the Mirage, the volcanoe at night at the Mirage.Shopping* the Forum at Ceasars,with lunch at Spago..The Venetian Canal shops and canal ride on a gondola, and just walk up and down the strip, more fun at night, safe, and good atmosphere, nothing else like it~Have fun ~

Have a great time in Vegas. I enjoy visiting there myself. Great playground. Mystere was very entertaining.

ggrant: <BR>My wife would divorce me if I went to Europe with a friend. So, should I still go?

Very funny~Travels-Thank you for some lightheartedness! These days we need all the cheer we can get and some are just determined to keep things negative~Cheers~~~

Why on earth can't you people be kinder to each other? Honestly, haven't you learned to be more patient and understanding? What's wrong with you that you would use words like "stupid" or "irrational?" <BR> <BR>Everyone I know is cancelling trips. I was in Venice, Italy on September 11 and it was a LIVING HELL. Every American I spoke to in the following week while wwe were stuck in Italy said the same thing "I want to be home." I spent 4,000 on this trip, planned it for a year and it was AWFUL. But, I have nothing to complain about. My husband isn't dead and I don't have one of the ten thousand children who were left without a parent. Let's try to be supportive of each other, okay?

Gillian: I'm with you, for what it's worth.

Sorry to sound rude. But, what would cause an individual to come on here and tell hundreds of strangers this information? Does Kent really think that someone in Alberta or Hong Kong cares that his wife won't travel to London with him? <BR> <BR>Who cares?

Boy, a lot of you folks are very mean..and many of you can't spell either. I completely understand Kent's disappointment re: his cancelled trip, but I can also understand his wife's fears. I am glad they were able to book a trip to Vegas. But I also think those of us who can need to "suck it up" and get on the plane...myself included...and I did just that last weekend. My 17 yr. old daughter and I had planned a college-touring trip months ago, and she insisted we go, despite our fears. So we flew up to Newark, and home from Philly (on the day the bombing started), and had no problems whatsoever. I was nervous, but nothing that a little rum & coke couldn't handle. Let's try to be a little more understanding of one another's feelings--everyone is different! <BR>Now I'm trying to plan a trip to Great Britain with all 4 of our kids for Christmas, as my husband has started a new job based in London. Am I crazy to be thinking about taking my whole family to Europe in December? One of the places we wanted to visit is St. Andrew's, as my daughter is applying there as well.

I just wanted to say that I don't usually post negative remarks, but when I saw Kent's thread I thought, 'great, another thread debating whether people should travel or not' and this time at the expense of someone who didn't even post the thread... Kent must have realized there would be people who would call his wife stupid for not going. While he didn't ridicule his wife, he certainly made a situation that made it easy for others to do so. <BR> <BR>Anyway, I'm sorry I didn't just ignore the thread.

puzzled

Travels - I'm confused by your question to ggrant. Are you the same person as "Kent", or do you just happen to be in the same situation he describes? <BR> <BR>I think it's really odd that your wife says she would divorce you if you went to Europe with a friend. I'm assuming this is a prospective trip, not one you've already planned and paid for? Anyway, if she feels that strongly about it, perhaps you should not go this time, but I would definately consider seeking counseling.

Dear America, <BR> Please all stay at home, and pull up the drawbridge until all the nasty men have gone away. Oh,and please don't forget to keep donating money to the IRA so that they can terrorise us in Britain in the meantime.Thanks and goodbye.
