Right now I do not feel like rescanning the entire blockchain. Do you guys think it is safe if I import the wallet.dat file to my wallet on blockchain.info? and how do I import the wallet.dat file into blockchain.info. Honestly I do not see the option?
From there I would like to transfer it to my electrum wallet. I am just wondering if I trust an online service with a reasonable sum of bitcoins.
Feedback appreciated

So far Blockchain has been fine (although its inadvisable for long term storage) so if you were worried, you should be fine for a quick import and subsequent transaction. Just make sure that you triple check the address you're sending your coins to is the one in your Electrum wallet - it's happened to countless people in the past.
Alternatively if you don't trust Blockchain, then you could follow the route I specified in my earlier post with pywallet. Just remember to decrypt the wallet as part of the command (specified below - don't recall if it was in the README).
Code:
--passphrase=PASSPHRASE
If you need anymore help, I should be around tomorrow - meanwhile I'll leave in you in Danny's more than capable hands.
