Off to the Holy Land!

Well, folks, we're off to Israel. We finished packing just in time for Lonnie to get us to the airport by 1:30 pm for our 4:35 flight.

We were greeted by the Rabbis and given our special Israel trip benchers (prayer and song book for after eating).

Then we got on the train got to the Crown Room and here we are...waiting and using the T-Mobile Access point.

Samantha is wearing her "Dash m'Yisrael" shirt and Daniel is wearing his "I Love Israel This Much" shirt. Both of them have their names in Hebrew on the back.

We'll be having our first night Hannukah celebration on the plane.

Samantha says "wow, great, can't wait."

Dan says...well, not much. He's mesmerized by the TV.

We first fly to Frankfurt arriving in the morning and then have an hour and a half layover before switching planes and going on to Tel Aviv. They messed up our meal selection on the planes...and have us sitting in different rows but hopefully it will all work out.

We'll post again when we get to our hotel in Jerusalem.
