Preparing for a trip to Israel literally takes over a year of planning. We must choose the itinerary, publicize the trip, recruit participants and take care of all kinds of details.
A major part of planning for the trip took place on January 30. All of the participants who were in town gathered were hosted by Micki and Mike, who are participants on the trip. We discussed everything from what to pack to where we would pray to what we needed to know about security. It was also a great chance for us to spend time getting to know one another. Even though everyone in the room was a Temple member, there were people who didn't know everyone.
As we concluded our meeting, excitement was high. If only we could have gone straight to the airport...

I am so excited and ready to go. Only wish Gidon did not have to cancel at last minute due to illness.
We too are sorry about Gidon's having to cancel and wish him a speedy recovery. Since we were not at the organization meeting at the Grunstein's home, we look forward to becoming acquainted and reacquainted with the members of the group. And we are very excited about seeing Israel after not visiting since 1993.
