2008 Holy Land Tour

Wow, how time flies! Close to one year ago my daughter Nicole and I decided to go to Israel in celebration of her graduation from high school. Going to Israel was a dream of Nicole's for quite some time and I also thought it would be fascinating to see the Holy Land. Just imagine, to be able to see and experience the area where Jesus walked, talked, healed, performed miracles, and ultimately gave his life for you and me. I anticipate that our experience there will be life-altering.

I'm also looking forward to spending some time alone with Nicole. She's an adventurer and a go-getter. We are going to experience all Israel has to offer, except maybe eating fish that still has a head and tail attached! I'll post a picture of that "appetizing" meal when the day comes. I am told they serve fish like that at a place near where Peter's house is located. I'd rather have a fake fish stick than to have my meal staring back at me.

I plan to update this blog daily in Israel to let you know what we have seen and visited. I hope you can capture just a little bit of what we are experiencing through this blog. Keep in mind, the Middle East has recently experienced internet outages due to cut lines so we will have to see if a daily post is too aggressive. I hope not.

We will be leaving for Israel on March 3, 2008 and begin our trek home on March 12, 2008.

Talk to you soon!
