October 2016
 

After a two hour delay waiting for our plane to arrive in New York, we had a smooth 10 hour  flight into Tel Aviv.
Melissa, Chris and the boys picked us up for the short drive to Jerusalem. 

The primary purpose of this trip was to visit Melissa and family; they have been in Israel 16 months of a three year tour with the US consulate.  A bonus was a private tour of some of the Holy Land.  Click a link below to go to a specific page or start with Day-1 for a complete tour.
