Schedule

More than three decades ago now, Deb and I and our kids took a long trip out west. We traveled thousands of miles and often drove much of a day to see just one monument, or site, or National Park. It was a great trip, but the driving was very tiring, as the USA is so very large!

When we visit Israel though, the only long travel day takes place while journeying to Israel itself. Once in country, the sites are so numerous and so geographically accessible, that our days are not filled with traveling, but rather with experiencing these amazing places. Our schedule each day will be fluid as variables can develop that will help us see more, experience more and maximize our time. Below though you will see what a typical day will look like, as well as what our tentative overall planned schedule is.

  • 7:00 am – Breakfast Buffet
  • 7:45 am – Board Bus
  • Noon – Lunch
  • 4:30 pm – Back to Hotel
  • 6 pm – Dinner Buffet
