The Journey Begins

Well, here I am 8 years later on route to finally returning to Israel. My day began when l woke up this morning in my room in my apartment in Denver looking at this picture...


I couldn't believe that I'd be traveling almost 9000 miles today to finally reach Tel Aviv. Returning to Israel is something I have thought about in some form or another either through trying to lead a birthright trip, study abroad, or just on a trip, but nothing panned out over these last 8 years until today. It's an overwhelming but incredible feeling as I sit on this plane headed toward Tel Aviv that I'm about to experience Israel the way I truly want to as a 24 year old young adult. I can't wait to see Hana and what her life is like as she attends medical school and lives in Tel Aviv. I'm also so excited to see my Israeli cousins I have not seen in many years, and very excited for them to show me all around the best places in Haifa, Caesarea, and Tel Aviv.

I have about 9 hours of flight time until I reach Tel Aviv. Wow, what an incredible sentence.
