We’re back from what can only be described as the “Best Vacation Ever”!
We had a great tour, a nice visit with some cousins, a great time in Jerusalem, and a nice relaxing few days in Eilat. The weather was great for touring (15-18 C, and sunny), but a little too cool in Eilat to swim in the Red Sea (21C).
We both felt perfectly safe there. Other than a security guard at the entrance to every store/hotel/restaurant, things really weren’t much different from last time I was there (12 years ago) You just have to get used to seeing people with M16’s slung over their shouldersJ
It was a little depressing to see how few tourists there were there. Many businesses were closed, markets were empty… but the merchants who were there were all very happy to see us and offer us great deals if we did our business at their store.
We are currently trying to figure out when we’ll be able to go back. Mandy’s cousin has a Bat Mitzvah in 2 years… that might be a good time. I could see us moving there some day (but right now High Tech workers and Family Doctors are not really in demand there).
Israel really has everything, religion, history, nature, culture, shopping, beaches… I encourage everyone to visit. It really is one of the best countries in the world.
