We've arrived! 6/16/2009

We're here!  We arrived safely in Israel, after an uneventful and easy trip on Air Canada.  We even got some sleep, movies and reading in on the flight.  We landed around 5:30 pm Israel time and arrived at our hotel in Jerusalem (The Dan Panorama) about an hour and a half later.  The traffic in Jerusalem is crazy and there is a lot of construction going on.  The Dordicks (our friends from NC) pulled up in their van about 5 minutes after we had arrived. We all checked in and made our way to dinner at Olive and Fish.  It was a delicious kosher meat meal and we are so excited to be here on this journey. It feels like coming home.  We'll update as often as possible. We are all looking forward to a fun and meaningful month here in this beautiful country.  More to come....
