5 weeks from today, I’ll be in Caesarea (Maritima). It’s amazing to think that it’s that close. I’ve obviously started preparing and thinking through items that I need to take with me. I love traveling. There’s such an exciting anticipation as you begin to get items together. And this trip isn’t like going to the beach or going home. There’s not a Walmart or Kmart on every corner if you should forget something. So I am thinking through everything that I might need then will go through and decide what is “non-essential” and can be left behind. I’ve started getting some of my Fall clothes out because it apparently is going to be on the cool side which I am so grateful for. I am extremely hot-natured so I am completely looking forward to the 50-70 degree weather that is being called for while we’re there. My Florida friends will probably be cold the whole time since the last time they went, it was summer and unbelievably hot. I, for one, am looking forward to it. After such a long, hot, and drought-filled summer, the coolness of air is something I am really looking forward to. I think God kept this in mind when He decided the time of year that I would be going on.
As the entire group is preparing, my tour host, (for those who don’t know, this is the minister that I used to work for at the church and his wife who are dear lifelong friends), sent out a booklet with pictures and brief descriptions of the places we will be visiting. I’ll post a day-by-day synopsis so you can follow along. I’ve had several ask me about that so just wanted to let you. Also, I’m contemplating taking my laptop with me so I can blog as we journey. Still trying to decide if it would be “non-essential” gear :-)
More to come…
