My Journal Entry:
I blocked these as one entry because I was on a plane 95% of the time, so it felt like one day. SUPER TIRED... Flew for five hours from San Diego to Atlanta, then for twelve hours from Atlanta to Tel Aviv. Our first adventure has already happened - as soon as we gathered in the Tel Aviv airport, we went outside to be picked up my Mr. Wilson and Mr. Ed, who had to go rent the vans then drive them over to us. We waited on the sidewalk just outside the airport for three hours, with no way of contacting either driver. Lots of prayer and goofing off later, they finally pulled up, we packed in, and started the drive to Yad Hashmona. Had an awesome dinner there, then went straight to our cabins (Yad Hashmona is kind of like a cross between a conference center and a camp). I'll be rooming with Val for the next four nights. Need... sleep... soon...
Mr. Wilson's Details:
After two long flights, totaling 17 hours, with barely an hour between them,
the VISION Team arrived safely in Tel Aviv, Israel Thursday evening. Other than a few bumps of turbulence on the San Diego-Atlanta leg, all went smoothly, including the arrival of all baggage (not always the case on such trips).
The team is staying for the first few days at Yad Hashmona, a guest house and
conference center, situated on a hilltop not far from Jerusalem. This beautiful facility is operated by a village of Messianic Jews, and it is providing the team with a chance to recover, not only from the long travel, but also from exams, papers, and all the challenges of the end of a
school year.
