Saturday, March 7, 2009: Day of Travel


The group (those of us that left from the burg) boarded the vans in Chambersburg around 1:30 PM and headed off towards Newark, NJ. There, we caught our flight to Israel at 10:50 PM. For most, the flight was uneventful and for some full of sleep. After a 9 hour flight, we landed in cloud covered Israel. Even though cloudy today, the weather is still beautiful with temperatures of 90+ degrees. Off to customs, then to baggage claim and finally to our bus…we now are driving to our first destination, Netanya and our first home away from home, the Blue Bay Resort. Netanya is a resort town located on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea.

We are all looking forward to our travels and sharing this experience with our family and friends. Before we sign off, here are some messages from some of the travelers to you:

Hi everyone, we are on our dream of walking Christ pathways. Had a real smooth flight.
We haven’t had our1st Israeli meal but will soon. Love You…Carole and Larry.

For those of you who know me, you will find this amazing. I had a window seat and only used the restroom once in eleven hours! Looking forward to our first Israeli meal for dinner and a walk on the Mediterranean Sea. Will be in touch. Love, Kathi

(More messages to come!)

Signing off from Israel. We are here, we are safe, and we are ready for our first Israeli meal and then off to bed. Shalom. IAN
