In Tripoli life is pretty much normal police have shown up in their white uniform on the streets. Shops opening early in the morning for coffee and cigs!
Although it's been raining past 2 days and places like Gargaresh and others nearby were flooded I saw a pickup truck sunk only the roof was visible. I remember literally driving my car slowly in the floods which had my tyres sunk 
all in all I feel the country is everyday shifting a gear forward with their post-revolt.
Those of you who are being contacted by your companies to return to work, I'd advise you to not look back if your company is confident about the security situation then so should you be.
My thread is open for questions.

Hi Hilton - I bought my ticket to go from istanbul to mitaga tripoli return for 450 euro using turkish airlines for the 18th oct( not possible to make online purchase or phone purchase you have to go directly to a turkish airline office ), but have heard from friends in the last couple of days that the service was good and customs/immigration at tripoli was not difficult. If you have your permit, valid visas etc it should not be a problem

Good day! Does anyone know: if i have received an invitation from a company in Libya, with "the numbers" for the visa written on that paper, properly stamped and everything, will i be allowed to enter Libya? The local Libyan embassy said their system is not working and they cannot release visa's in passports.
Thank you for the help and perhaps suggestions.

Make sure that the company issuing the visa in Libya sends someone to the Turkish Airline office here in Tripoli with the copy of the visa and your reservation details so they can enter "OK TO BOARD" message on their system for your ticket.
Once this is done, the airline will let you travel when you show a copy of the visa at the check in counter.
TO be on the safe side, do not just take the word of the people from Libya that they have done this process. You should check and confirm with the airline locally and they should be able to confirm the same.
