Good news

My boss gave the OK yesterday though she sort of bypassed one of her "underbosses" (hey she made her and offer she couldn't refuse. She told her to do it. ) whose job it is to give such approval but when the boss says its a go,then its a go!! So now we have to plan excursions and airfare. One a side note the stop in Alexandria has been cancelled due to the politics there but they added two days in Haifa instead so Connie we are getting ready for ya.

Thank you. I am finding that excursion in Israel are pretty costly but I have been advised to be sure to get a good guide so to make the best of it we have to do it.

Congrats on an amazing cruise. I'm told that Israel is worth every day. Any chance you can just hire your own driver once you are there?

I thought about that. However what does one miss having a driver vs. a state sponsored guide? There has to be something in the middle somewhere. We'll see.

jacket, definintely get a private guide that knows all the history and sights .... it is sooooo worth the money.
