For some reason I always forget how long the trip to Israel is, and I'm always suprised by how long it takes. It's not until I get here that I think, oh yeah, I remember how much I hate that flight now! The cheapest flight I could find was on Iberia airline which connected to an El Al flight in Spain. Although the flight from Dulles to Spain was crowded the flight to Israel was not and I could stretch out and get some rest. I left Dulles Airport in Virginia at 8:30 at night and arrived in Israel the next day at 6 PM Israeli time. All in all, I was traveling for about 15 hours including the transfer in Spain, not my idea of fun!
When I arrived at the airport I got my luggage and located a
שרות to take me to my flat. (Any student who can tell me what I took to the flat will earn an Israeli candy bar when I return.) I am sharing the flat with Julie Gilbert Ben Avram, a women who works as a youth director at Westchester Jewish Community Center. She is also here on a Legacy Heritage Fellowship and we met via the group list serve.
