we had our aliyah...I guess it's time to pack

O.k. so we are checking things off the list ... Most of the items so far are for Ashleigh
but that is o.k. it is cheaper then sending packages, well maybe. but enough about that

Now it's time to work on our trip and the excitment is starting to kick in... or maybe it is just the euphoria of having only one more load of laundry to do.




Barry is actually admitting to being excited, he is going to Israel he has spent so much time sending his girls to Israel and now it is his turn.

So on Saturday we had an aliyah and the Tefilat Haderech that we should travel safely, not be eaten by wild beasts or fall pray to bandits or ambush and I am hoping that too. However, we can now consider ourselves blessed we just have to be careful until it's time to go.

I wonder if the prayer covers the packing process also.

But packing is for later...

Now it is time to plan... in the North we have heard about De-Karina Chocolate , Petler Winery and Yarden Winery. A friend in shul was telling us about a facility to see in Haifa that he supports and is affiliated with Masorti it is called Ahava Village for Children and Youth. There is Rosh Hanikra and Akko and Cesaria and Haifa and Safad and ohhhh my I could name so many things and that is only in the north.
