We are all fine - there are issues and pockets of trouble around the island so we are staying pretty close to home and the schools are closed. Americans always over react and the British Embassy is closed due to the fact that it is downtown Manama right next to where the main are of trouble is. Prudent to close really. We are all still getting updates through the Locate service. Ladies, i would advise all of you to make sure you are all registered with your Embassies. You just never know.

I think if I was living in Bahrain, I'd be getting out for a while too.

The State Department also said family members of U.S. embassy staff were authorized to leave[b'> voluntarily[/b'>

They did that in 2004 as well with the service families. Yeah - did it in Saudi a couple of times as well. They need to get a stiff upper lip :D
