SKY9.......Thankfully your son is alive and well. BUT, do you REALLY think the "tour operators" choose to keep people where they are, with sewage on the beach etc? Do you really not care for the 50,000 people who perished and their families who have lost EVERYTHING and can`t leave? The enormity of the disaster is more than just Mytravel or Thomson can handle, and quite frankly getting someone home who is alive and well is not the first priority.
Hopefully, he rolled his sleeves up and tried to help out. Others just vanished to the airport and moaned at the tour reps to get them out.
This is a reality check for all of us.
