In April 2015, I went with KC to Amman, Jordan. I have been here twice several years ago (see
http://www.stonetrips.com/Jordan2012_1.html ), but the whole region has changed since I was last in Jordan because of the war in Syria, ISIS in Syria and Iraq, the large number of Syrian and Iraqi refugees who have come into Jordan and are placing a huge burden on Jordan. Syria is about 30 miles away from Amman, Iraq about 120 miles. Even this week, several neighboring countries have started to bomb Yemen after Houthi rebels overthrew the Yemen government. Lots of unrest and trouble in this area.
See airplane map below, looks like we are flying straight into Syria, makes you hope you have a good pilot
