The Journey Begins

     Worship services at Grace-Plano are concluding as I write this. It is nighttime here in Israel. Somehow I will find a way to eat dinner (shouldn't be a problem) and then try to go to sleep.
     From the lobby of the resort in Netanya I can hear the sounds of waves from the Mediterranean Sea. Hope to get pictures tomorrow morning.
     No problems on our flights here. However, Anne and Amy (my two traveling buds from Grace-Plano) somehow scored first class seats from DFW to Newark. As I was feasting on a bag of pretzels and some ginger ale, they had gourmet dining and snacking. I told them to take a break when you get it.
     I was fortunate to have emergency row seating from Newark to Tel Aviv, so I could stretch out my big legs. Very worth the $60 upgrade.
     Tomorrow we make our way to Caesarea. Can't wait to explore the sites, cross-reference with Scripture, and imagine what it would have been like.
     For now, it is off to dinner and then to bed. A person can only be on airplanes and buses for so long...
