Our final day in Israel was like the calm before the storm. the morning started with a yacht cruise on the Red Sea. Well, actually, it was the gulf of Aquaba. This was to be a time of relaxation, but I was looking forward to getting int he water. I could spend hours snorkeling. In fact, on my honeymoon, Shannon and I did just that. We spend an entire day, on the water taking in the underwater sights. I just wish on that say I had worn more tan lotion. You guessed it, I got burned so bad that I did not wear a shirt for 2 days and slept on the couch. This time I was prepared.
After our cruise, I t was time to check out and start the long voyage home. It started with a flight from Eilat to Tel Aviv. the flight itself was only 35 minutes, but it took four hours to check in, get loaded, and unloaded. Then a bus ride to dinner only to return back to the airport 4 hours early to check in for the flight to New York City.
One AM finally came and we pulled away from the terminal for an 11.5 hour flight. I must confess it was not one of the smoothest flight I ever took. But I was able to sleep a little. But I was conferable in my shorts and polo shirt.
We arrived in New York at 7:15 AM, an were rudely greeted by 34 degree weather and falling snow. Welcome home to the USA, and more specifically, welcome home to winter. Now it is time to resettle into this time zone. Time for some sleep. The words are getting blurry and I am starting to not make sense.
I will talk to you soon. It is ogfdkl as if og,ne and good night!
