How to get a good night's sleep? Well, I know it doesn't involve an 11 hour flight, wondering if you are going to be hassled about your passport. My passport? Yep, hours before leaving I noticed that my passport expires 5 months and 2 weeks – and the Israeli government requirement is 6 months from your departure date... a great chance to put Phil 4:6-7 into practice. It was out of my control, time to trust.
No problem, it was probably the easiest immigration and customs I've done. Now I am sitting with about 1/3 of our group, waiting for the last plane to arrive. So far all I can say is that it is a fine international airport, and spoken Hebrew (via public announcements) has a pleasing almost Japanese sound.
So, realizing I'm barely coherent, I won't write more. We are here safely, and looking forward to a wonderful journey!
In Christ
