I am canceling

I know I am catching hell for that from my wife - but I would rather deal with her than deal with something much worse

The rational decision. No real need to put yourself in harms way.

Unless it was a life/death issue, I'd pass on the trip. Sounds like things could easily get out of hand.

Marshall law declared in the South because of Islamic militants, and just a few hours ago an explosion and gunfire in a hotel in Manila.

I think staying home is the right call Rob.

Seems like a reasonable decision to me. I doubt you would be in any physical danger, but the chances of travel delays and disruptions have got to be pretty high. No point in travelling half way around the world just to be denied entry to your chosen destination.

If I was traveling alone, I would go. Otherwise, nope.

Yeah, agree, but not too sure on the last part.

I'd hope she knows it's best to stay put.

The plot thins...



Robbery, not terrorism, in Manila, and the lone gunman has reportedly killed himself.
