I heard from my father last night that there was to be a
general strike in Israel beginning today that would shut down the airport and
thus jeopardize our trip. Fortunately,
the strike was short lived (only four hours), so as of now, we are a go. Tomorrow at this time I will be heading to O’Hare
with the group from Ridge Church to begin our great adventure. We depart O’Hare at 2:50 and fly to NY where
we will change planes and depart around 9pm.
We are scheduled to arrive in Tel Aviv at 2:50 local time on Wednesday
afternoon. Once we gather up our
belongings, go through customs, etc, we will be on our way to Tiberius and the
Royal Plaza Hotel.
The Royal Plaza is not one of my favorites, but by going
their first we will enjoy the hotel in Jerusalem all the more! We will spend 3 nights in Tiberius before
heading to Jerusalem on Saturday.
I will try to blog every day, but I am not sure that I have
internet access in Tiberius. If not I
will post my daily blogs once we arrive in Jerusalem.
I am ready for some Sabbath time!
