Shalom

We enjoy our Farewell Dinner and the group are all thankful in different ways for a wonderful experience. We have had an amazing journey together and everyone has gotten along beautifully and there are so many touching memories to share.

I am so grateful for the sharing of a trip of a lifetime with such great people; thank you to each and every one. Special thanks to Marilyn who jumped in and scoured the internet early on and the found so many fabulous, not-to-be-missed places to add to our itinerary and who helped me sort out answers to questions and details of the process.

Each person added something unique and important - truly each a child of God.
As I say shalom to the blog entries I realize that the word `shalom`is used in Israel to say both goodbye and hello which is very fitting as we say goodbye to the official time of the trip, but at the same time say hello to seeing life and the world of Israel and Jordan in a new way because of our experience.

Shalom, my friends, shalom, my friends, shalom, shalom with deep gratitude.

  1. Hello to all. We really did enjoy following along from afar your special trip. It truly sounds amazing. We can hardly fathom how old places are that you mention. Your breath must be taken away by the sights. Everyone must have had their own special memories that we read about and talk about but have never seen. We look forward to hearing more about your adventures when you return. Marion, Shelley and Marnie
