Days 1 & 2 – Friday/Saturday, May 5-6: Depart U.S.A. / Arrival in Israel
Our day of departure finally arrived! God brought together a total of 45 from all over the world, actually, for this May 2023 Israel trip, with an option to Jordan. Folks in the group arrived at various times, with the bulk of the group coming in the afternoon. The flight was long, however, finally flying over the coastline of Israel, with Tel Aviv in full view below, was beautiful!
Tel Aviv / Netanya
Upon arriving at the Ben Gurion Airport, 27 (of the 45) were greeted by our Israeli guide (Shlomo) and driver (David). After loading the bus we drove to our hotel in Netanya. It’s located right on the beach of the Mediterranean Sea! We checked in and enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Many also enjoyed a stroll/walk on the beach throughout the day as they arrived, with some enjoying a beautiful evening stroll on the coastline. We are all looking forward to our first full day here in Israel tomorrow!
“Today we arrived in Israel! What a thrill it is to be here in the land of the Bible! We all cannot wait for this long-anticipated trip and all the biblical connections we’ll make over the next almost two weeks!”
Day 3 – Sunday, May 7: Caesarea, Mt. Carmel, Megiddo, Tel Jezreel, Mt. Gilboa, Precipice of Nazareth, Nazareth
