The Homowack Hotel was indeed sold to a group in Skwer,but for the time is remaining open under OU supervision under the name Spring Mountain Resort (certainly until the end of the holidays).

I will be serving as a scholar-in-residence on a kosherica cruise to the Greek Isles at the end of the month.Costa Lines writes in their booklet that travelers on a cruise that stops in Libya and have an ISRAELI passport ,or a stamp from Israel in their PASSPORT,OR BORN IN ISRAEL,WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DISEMBARK.
ALL GUESTS OF AMERICAN NATIONALITY,OR OF ANOTHER NATIONALITY,BUT BORN IN THE USA WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO DISEMBARK IN TRIPOLI.
If Costa had some courage, they would tell the Libyans,that either all their passengers can get off safely,or they will simply skip their country.
