Important Information · Passport must be on your person at all times. · Please pack light. Bring a sturdy duffle in your checked bag to expand your carrying capability to haul home souvenirs. Be sure to have rain gear, good walking shoes (plus an extra pair) and some warm and light clothes. The days may be warm, chilly, cold or hot. · Bring the medications that you will need. If you have allergies you will need your meds. Imodium-Pepto Bismol (tablets) morning and evening really helps keep your stomach feeling good. · REMIND EVERYONE WE ARE EIGHT HOURS AHEAD-8PM USA IS 4AM WHEREVER WE ARE IN ISRAEL · I have a bag strap for you, see me. Do not lock your bags because they are checked by inspectors. Put a bag strap to protect them from breaking open. · If you have any question, please call or e-mail me. I will be glad to answer. · The days will be exciting, memorable, long and exhausting, and it will be the greatest trip you have ever taken. · Bring $100 to $150 in cash. ATM’s are everywhere. Bring your Visa. · Pace yourself on picture taking. Everyday is significant. · Bring your AT&T, MCI, or Sprint card with you. The country code in Israel is 972. It’s a lot less expensive to dial direct, than it is to use the Israeli telephone system. · The electrical system for Israel is 220. For specific things you will need a multi-voltage converter. Camcorders & Video-recorders often have the worldwide AC Adapter charger, so you will also want to check that. Bring all of the film (at least 15 rolls) that you want to use in Israel, with you. It is fairly expensive to buy film. If your film is below ISO400, you shouldn’t have any problem with the x-ray machine. There shouldn’t be any problem for your camcorder videotape. Also, the videotapes in Israel are very expensive, so I would not suggest buying any videotape in Israel. · Make sure that you have a health insurance card in case of an accident. Make sure that you have evidence of health insurance. We will have travel/accident insurance for medi-evac if needed. · Put all of your stuff in one bag to check thru to Tel Aviv. Hand carry a bag with a change of underwear, some light snacks, your camera, and any other carrying things that you want to take. You will need a wallet that you can keep next to your body for your passport, driver’s license, credit card and cash. I would suggest either a waist or neck wallet. Remember, pack light and have necessary stuff in a carry-on bag. · Be sure to bring the Bible you use all the time. You will want to look up verses at various sites. Also, bring a notebook so that you can keep a journal. Remember to use the PRAYER GUIDE as you prepare for your trip. BLESS YOU ON YOUR PREPARATION. YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AFTER YOU VISIT ISRAEL, THE LAND OF THE BIBLE.
