Days 1 & 2 – Tuesday-Wednesday, November 1-2: Depart U.S.A., Arrive in Tel Aviv, Israel, Netanya
Our trip began today! Various flights were used for the 29 of us to fly to the Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. We all arrived safely, with luggage in hand too (which is a blessing in today’s travel world). Most in the group met at the airport, while others who arrived early journeyed to the first night’s hotel on their own.
Jaffa
We met David (our Israeli driver) and Shlomo (our Israeli guide) as we loaded the bus. We made a brief stop in Jaffa (Joppa) en route to Netanya and our hotel. Biblical connections with Jaffa include Jonah (Jonah 1) and Peter (Acts 9 & 10). The traffic was heavy all the way, but we made in time for a late dinner.
We are all looking forward to our first full day tomorrow!
“It is hard to believe we are actually in Israel now! After a canceled Israel trip during Covid, it is wonderful to be here. We are looking forward to Dr. John’s trip and with all the biblical connections we’ll make through the trip.”
Day 3 – Thursday, November 3: Caesarea, Carmel, Megiddo, Precipice of Nazareth, Tiberias
