And we're off!

It is 8:01 am Central Standard Time and Laurel has now been up for 2 hours and 15 minutes. Why? I am not sure. I think she is nervous, or excited, or maybe both. I do know that last night her mom helped her wrap me in bubble wrap to make sure I was securely strapped down for the flight, for fear I might break while we travel. I had to escape long enough to write this, I hope I can get back in the bubble wrap before we leave. 

 We fly from Minneapolis at 4:10 pm, and arrive in Atlanta at 7:49. There we wait (go through customs) until our 10:40 pm flight to Tel Aviv! We will arrive in Israel at 5:25 pm... what a long flight! From my calculations we will be in the air for maybe 10-11 hours. A WUJS representative is said to be meeting us there, and help direct us to our apartment. 

Alright, Laurel is looking for me. She double checks everything to make sure she didn't forget anything. I don't know how she could, she is bringing enough to last her beyond the 6 month stay. She can't seem to pack light. 

Good Bye America, next time I write I will be in the Holy Land!
