Well, we have arrived safely. After a 2 hour car ride to the airport; 9 hours in the airport; 10 hour flight; one and a half hour to get through customs, get our luggage and get loaded on the buses (7 - 50 passenger buses); a 2 and a half hour ride to Tiberius; and a few minutes for an evening meal, Shannon and I are ready to turn in for the evening. In case you didn't do the math while reading, that is about 24 hours of travel time with only about 3 hours of sleep. Shannon got a little more sleep than that, but she is also feeling the need to turn in.
It is now 9:30 PM here and we are unpacked in our hotel and are about to call the kids, just to let them know we are safe. We have one that worries, so we do not what to add to that pressure.
I would love to tell you all we have seen thus far. The inside of JFK international airport. ?They have quite a nice mall to visit while you wait for your flight. The inside of an El AL 747-400 airplane. And although this one was huge and had two decks, if you have seen the inside of one airplane, you have seen them all. The Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. As we were leaving the airport, we noticed many grapefruit orchards. But by the time we headed down the road the sun set and all we saw for the next two hours was lights on the hilside.
So for now, that's all...but tomorrow we will have more, since we are slaited to tbe baptized in the Jordan River.
Pastor and Shannon
