Sunday, February 26, 2012: Day 1

Sunday, Feb.  26 - After about 12 hours of being in the air, we have finally arrived in Tel Aviv, Israel. Our first stop of the trip is Ben Gurion Airport.  There we met our Israeli staff, Robbi Ferri, and Bill Harter, whom has been here in Israel for about a week and a half.  We got our luggage, loaded the bus and after a short drive, we arrived at our home for the night, the Blue Bay Resort Hotel in Netanya.  Netanya is a favorite weekend vacation city in Israel.  Situated on the Mediterranean Sea, it is the perfect location for a good night sleep; with the sound of the sea outside the window and the smell of the salt air.  Sorry for the short post, I am sure you can understand that we are all very tired and are looking forward to good night sleep in a bed and not sitting up in a airplane seat.  Know we are all safe and will share more experiences in the coming days.  Thanks for checking in on us...for now, Shalom from Israel!
