Day 1& 2 – Saturday-Sunday, September 10-11: Depart U.S.A. for Israel, Arrive in Tel Aviv
Our day of departure finally came. God brought together 31 people from the US (and Australia) for our trip to Israel. Following the completion of our Israel Entry Form this past week, we met at various airports for our flight to Israel. Most flew out of JFK, NY or San Fransisco, CA, with a few others meeting us in Israel. We landed at the Ben Gurion Airport where we went through the Passport procedures, picked up our luggage, and proceeded to our bus.
Shlomo (our guide) and David (our driver) were waiting for us. Leaving the airport we drove along the canal of the Aijalon (Joshua 10) to Netanya, located north of Tel Aviv. Arriving at the hotel we unloaded the bus and checked in. Some arriving earlier had the chance to walk down to the beautiful beach. An excellent buffet dinner was served in the dining room.
“It was so special to arrive in Israel this afternoon! This is a like a dream-come-true. While the flight was long, we had no issues getting here. We are all looking forward to our first full day tomorrow!”
We retired to our rooms for what we hope will be a good night’s rest. We are all eagerly awaiting our first full day tomorrow! It’s so good to be here in the “land of the Bible.”
Day 3 – Monday, September 12: Caesarea, Carmel, Megiddo, Precipice of Nazareth, Tiberias
