Negotiations began at 4 pm today and I just received this moments ago from work (this is when work gets fun!):

“You are confirmed for departure this Thursday August 10 for Cyprus. You should arrange your return from Cyprus back to Ottawa on Friday 18 August. Make sure your ticket is fully refundable and that changes can be made easily (just in case).

If you arrive in Cyprus in time for onward transport to Beirut (usually by US or UK military helicopter), you will continue on to Beirut. If you arrive after the departure of the choppers, you will stay in Cyprus to assist with the evacuation.”

…and some other stuff that would put you to sleep.

And, erm, should something happen to me while in Lebanon…just know that I was doing something I loved (helping people) and probably wearing a great pair of shoes (in which I can run should the need arise).
