My brother texted me this morning from the (thankfully) quiet airport. His flight was to leave in a half hour.--so I am assuming that they got out just fine.
thanks again for all your thoughts and assistance.

Thank God! The situation has gotten so little press, there was a two paragrah story buried on page 20 in yesterday's NYT!

It's been a constant top 3 headline at BBC for a few days.

That's great news...I'm sure you and your family are relieved. I'd like to also add that I am very proud to have fellow forumites as friends. The support for Loria (and others) has been amazing. You're all really awesome...

just got the word, they did indeed get out--my brother called my dad from the airport in Johannesburg before boarding his plane to Nairobi (you THINK he would have called when he LANDED in JoBurg--BUT NO--he waits......
) he is totally getting his ass whupped when he returns.

So glad to hear he is out safely! Delaying the call sounds like something my brother would do also! What relief for your family to have him safe!
