Maureen NOT in Afghanistan

Well for all you who are kindly following my journey I am sad to report that it has come to a grinding halt. Needless to say I am extremely disappointed and also copped a financial beating for cancelling my flights at late notice.
I guess if nothing else I have learnt from the experience and it does highlight some of the complexities of Afghanistan and that culture is so ingrained it is not something you can simply leave behind.
I won't give much details for security reasons but due to something in the family of tha lady I was supposed to travel with, she has been threatened with harm or worse so she understandibly opted not to go. Hopefully we will go next Easter.
Thanks for your support and I will be sure to keep you posted.
Thanks
