A Note from the Holy Land Band!


We made it! We made it!

As Becky describes in her note (check it out!), we had an 11-hour plane ride from NYC to Tel Aviv, arriving around three in the afternoon (local time). It was a great feeling to step off the plane into the humid air of the Tel Aviv terminal and head toward Passport Control. Until we realized we’d have to stand in a “line” which was really more of a mob. And somehow whichever group ended up behind us got shifted to the front. We must be really good luck for other people. It was an exhausting TWO HOUR wait, and a test of patience.

Finally we made it to our Big Red Bus to travel another two hours to the Royal Plaza Hotel in Tiberias, where we were greeted with an amazing meal (including too many desserts to count!). We have a great bus driver and tour guide with a great sense of humor.

So for now we have set up camp and are all ready for a good night’s sleep before heading to Galilee tomorrow! Shalom from all of us here in the Holy Land Band!
