Itinerary

Below are highlights from the 2013 itinerary.

Someone once told me that a trip to Israel with John and Arlene was like a college course stuffed into two weeks.  I think it may have been John and Arlene and I think they were right ... good thing there isn't an exam at the end!

I have included website links (in italics) to some of the places we will be going so you can find out more about them ahead of time.  Two of my favorite sites that I have found during my research are the Jewish Virtual Library and Bible Places. Have fun exploring!
