Wednesday | Shorashim - Israel with Israelis

Wednesday

By Arthur Schweitzer

Wednesday afternoon: I packed nearly verbatim from the suggested packing list with the exception of an additional pair of sandals and an extra bottle of sunscreen. These both proved to be useful additions, even though I was confident that the additional sunscreen was unnecessary...before I landed in Israel and experienced the sun!

I found out later on this trip that my bag was about average in size and some people had a small duffle bag and a carry on while others had a large suitcase with a larger backpack because they extended their trip to explore. 

When I arrived, there was a large group sitting and chatting, inviting people into the circle. Some of us were traveling with a friend or a sibling and others were traveling alone, but everyone was excited to meet the rest of the group.

We checked in, wished our luggage safe travels, and began our journey to Israel together.
