Dahab News Thread - POST NEWS IN HERE!!

[roger]

I am trying to reach Peter Ericson right now. But so far no success.

We are almost leaving on a flight to Sharm, connecting to Dahab for freediving with Lotta.

I would like to talk to him if it is wise to go and if they are still expexting us.

We dont want to give in to terrorists and stay at home!!!

Thanks for the update about Fred and Annelie. I was getting quite worried, as I know he and Sam hang out a lot together, and his name hadn't been mentioned.

If anyone has any update on Sam, please post...if anyone sees him, please tell him I'm glad he's still with us, and I hope he makes a quick recovery.

Just talked to Lotta. We are going to Dahab today.

Among the 62 wounded there were three Danes, three Britons, two Italians, two Germans, two French people, a South Korean, a Lebanese, a Palestinian, an American, an Israeli and an Australian.

.. and unfortunately a Hungarian (probably diver) is also wounded.

I wish the people, who got into hospitals, getting better soon!

Damn bombers - I hope they will be caught (at last, with after two earlier bomb attacks believed to caused by them)! Glenn, U R right.

(now I read, the Hungarian was not with the Hungarian diver group)

Mark,
Samdive said she was in Egypt in her last e-mail about the mencap 60m challenge. Do you know if she was in Dahab?
I hope she was somewhere else.
