As far as Syria goes, I still have my plane reservations but did buy them with cancellation insurance. I will depend on the Syrians to tell me how safe it is. I am supposed to be going to far north-east Syria - away from all of the current problems. I hope I get to go and photograph the Syrian children, but I hope even more that we are not headed for WWIII.
