Thanks for the advice. I know it's a long shot, but I'm going to try. Heard from one travel place that the US State Dept has issued a travel advisory for Americans in that area, so anything they had would be cancelled?? Not familiar with US travel advisories during war time. Does that mean I absolutely cannot go? Makes me worry about my English friend (who's a performer scheduled to be there), and also about the success of the concert in general.

Thanks again,

Deb
