A trip to the Holy Land, Masada, the Dead Sea, Petra and Egypt! Part 1 A dream come true -- riding a camel at the Pyramids of Giza. I've seen photos of tourists doing this all my life...and, now, here I am! OK, so it's quite a long flight to Israel. We left from LAX (see my post on the best way to get to LAX.) It was at our layover was at JFK in New York, that we got a preview of what we'd be seeing a lot of in Israel over the next week or so. Luckily, this long Delta flight had individual seat back TVs. I watched a couple of movies, A Star is Born and Bohemian Rhapsody . I took a few naps and tried to enjoy the food. This flight had USB c hargers at each seat -- one nice thing about flying in newer planes. After losing an entire day to travel and time change, we were happy to walk on solid ground once again.

My last blog was on July 3rd and since then, I’ve had many new experiences, not the kind I would have planned on but the kind that have made me appreciate my faith, the strength of prayer and every member of my family more. It all began in Yosemite. Our family enjoys camping together. We’ve camped at the beaches for years – Doheny State Beach is a favorite and we’ve camped at Zion National Park and back in 2009 in Yosemite. This year, we had reservations at the Upper Pines Campground in Yosemite Valley. This means that several months ago, we set a strategy – choosing a week and a range of campsites and gave everyone the date and time that the coveted and hard to get reservations would open. On a Sunday morning in March we all woke up early and had our hoped for reservations chosen on the National Park Service Reservation website www.recreation.gov . At exactly 7:00 a.m., the moment the reservations opened, we all pressed enter. I had two computers logged in, kept pressing enter on bo...
The thing of which I’m most proud is the fact the four kids we’ ve been blessed to raise, have turned out to be well adjusted, kind, happy, and just good people. This isn ’t to say that we haven’t had so me dire worries, issues and concerns over the years. Those crazy early years – most of the 80’s is just a a blur of sleepless nights, changing diapers, cleaning up poop and vomit messes at all hours of the day and night in cars, beds and cribs, and if we’re lucky, outside somewhere. (We us ed to have a dog that would lick up vom it with relish the moment it hit the ground. I’m not really fond of dogs, but they do serve some useful purposes. They're really good at cleaning the floors under the tab le too.) John was often a teacher at the same school the kids attended, but that didn ’t mean they got any favors or special treatment – at least by him. The worst of this is that, any time any of the kids acted up or did anything slightly naughty, John usually found out bef...
