Israel Day1 2010

Most of this day was on a plane over the Atlantic. Our 11 hour plane ride was short and sweet. Security check in was painless, we had exit row seating (plenty of leg room), and best of all...both Mandy and I slept the entire flight thanks to Xanax (sleeping pill) and exhaustion from a day of touring New York!

The weather here is much warmer than we anticipated which means we may have some sink washing to do a few times, since neither Mandy and I brought too many pairs of shorts. IFL was predicting more rainy days and cooler days than our last trip two years ago (May 2008).

Well we are now going to shower up after being in the same clothes for almost 48hrs and perhaps try to get ourselves on Israel time.... which is 9 hours ahead!!!!

I remember the food now. Lots of stuff, looks good, smells good, but I just can't eat it. I stick with the same three things each time. Going to be a long week. Maybe I can drop a few pounds.

New York was great. Climbed the Statue of Liberty and got to see out of the crown of her head. 300+ steps in a tight spiral staircase almost killed me but it was a great day. Walked around Central Park for a while too.


We had a 7 hour layover and got to see the city a little. You can see the pictures we took of New York on our Picasa Album.
