Finally, we are settled into our hotel in Tiberias, in the North of Israel, and have become well acquainted with our trip staff. After four hours of anticipating boarding at JFK, a 12-hour flight, and a nearly 2-hour bus ride to the hotel, we must rest up for our big day tomorrow!
Breakfast begins at 7am, wake-up call is at 7:30am, and we have an orientation at 8:30am where we will then leave the hotel for a day of hiking and a night out. I think I speak on behalf of my entire bus when I say that I cannot wait to explore Israel! Already, ice has been broken and we have all become more acquainted with one another.
After speaking with a few other trip members, there seems to be a consensus: we are all extremely excited to see all that Israel has to offer us! From what I have seen thus far, we are a bright, optimistic, and outgoing group with full intentions of making this trip the best it can possibly be!
Stay tuned for lots of photos and updates to come tomorrow!
