Day 21 & 22 (sort of) - heading home

So not going to go into much detail about our tour today. Suffice to say we had a great trip back from the southern most point in Israel (Eilat) through a 200 million year old desert

Miles and miles of...

miles and miles!

To the tomb of Israel’s first Prime Minister, and the man really responsible for creating an Israeli state

To the museum of Flight depicting how Israel control the skies over it’s country

6 1/2 kills (there was a little disagreement on who shot down the 7th plane, so they split that difference)

To our final dinner with the group on what we called the “Red Bus” (the bus was actually blue but who am I to argue with the group)

I believe the kids have made life long friendships with others that will last the years.

Samantha with her new BFF, Abby

And friends Arielle, Andie and heather

Best friends forever!

And the adults met new friends we will certainly not forget.

The Red Bus Group

And our tour guide, Allan and driver Akiva, who really made this the best trip ever!

That's Akiva on the left and Allan on the right

The new day (well morning actually, as people started flying off around 12:30AM) had us saying goodbye and reflecting on the great trip we had. My family was a bit more fortunate in that we got 5 hours sleep before we had to leave, but had to leave we did.

Samantha got a little more sleep on the plane

Sheryl, a little less sleep

And who needs sleep when there are action movies to watch

Israel is a place everyone should visit. Whether you are Jewish, Christian, of another faith, or do not believe in any faith. There is history here, miracles here, and a lot to learn here. A bucket list tour for sure.
