Okay, so I’m in Israel. Which means I should be writing deep, meaningful, travelogue-ish, photo-filled posts about what I’m seeing and experiencing. Right?

Well, you’re right. But a) I have 10 minutes; b) this is the first time I have high-speed internet; and c) Do you remember whose blog you’re reading?

No really, I do want to write more about the experience, because it’s been great so far. But for now, I’m going to take advantage of the Twitter Ho-Down and post the “Best of” my traveling tweets.

Sorry/You’re welcome:

Said goodbye to kids & sitter. On our way to airport to fly to Israel! Tons of preparations b4 we left, but now we can enjoy the ride!

Airport security nearly strip searched Charlie (titanium hip man). I was in charge of bags. So of course I tried to lose his laptop & belt

News flash: For flights to Israel, u get TWO security screenings. But all of us made it onto the plane- even Charlie’s hip. Woot!

Dear Husband, u eat the leftover Valentines hearts that I scavenged at Publix & brought in my carry-on at ur own peril. U have been warned.

Tweeting from Tel Aviv. Woot!

Thx for all the mazel tovs! Now waiting bleary eyed for Charlie and luggage. And humming Shalom Alechem song.

Luggage! We have luggage!

Oops. Trying again. Luggage! And Trolley Boy!

U guys… I have used my entire data allotment for the day. We’ve been here 90 minutes. CRAP. So… No more pics til I have wifi.

Sitting in a tour bus. Waiting 4 2 missing passengers. We just broke open the inboard cooler. Just water.

@marni71 I want my money back. We were promised the “I love Jesus but I drink a little” bus. Which reminds me I need to repost that video.

Lovely hotel w a view of Mediterranean which we’ll see in the morning when we check out. Dinner, talk, check email, BED.

On the road by the Mediterranean from Tel Aviv to Caesarea. If u ignore the signs in Hebrew, it looks like Calif. Sunny & 70 degrees

Visited Caesarea, where Paul appealed to Herod Agrippa b4 being sent to Rome. Beautiful ruins of Roman theatre, palace on the coast

Now leaving Mt Carmel where Elijah confronted the prophets of Baal. Fits w the name we gave our bus: Baalbusters.

Good morning! Almost 4 pm in Israel. For lunch I had my 1st of MANY falafels. Now we’re riding from Megiddo to Nazareth in the rain.

***

Okay, that’s all I can do before breakfast. Yesterday we did Caesarea, Mount Carmel, Megiddo, Nazareth, and Tiberias.

Charlie’s tapping his foot now, waiting for me, so I’d better go.

Hugs and kisses!
