What a thrilling few day's it has been! You know how it is... We’ve all felt the excitement and anticipation that comes before a big event. Sometimes there is little anxiety and sometimes we even daydream of what is to come and what we might expect. Well, traveling to Israel, whether it’s your first time or your 15th time will bring to you a plethora of emotions and anticipation. Will my plane get delayed? Did I pack the right clothes? You try to picture yourself in the Holy Land; like one of the people you’ve undoubtedly seen on the television program. Will I like the food? And more often than any of those questions; what does God have in store for me? Will I hear from Him? Will my life be changed?
123 people came to Israel with many of these questions in their head as did I. In each step of our journey the questions and anxiety began to fade. As they arrived at the airport they immediately met people in our group! LeSEA Tours met them shortly after deplaning and our guides were right there waiting for them. And it wasn’t long before they were driving along the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea headed the first stop of many in the days ahead. We were standing in the Holy Land! Breathing the air, touching what has been left behind from much different days. And though we were tired - it was a long flight and a long day... I could see by the smiling faces at dinner tonight and by hearing the laughter, that each person in our group was thrilled to be here and looking forward to tomorrow.
