One Week (From yesterday...)

     One week to go and I wonder, "Will Israel bring me some sort of religious revelation?"  Should I expect that? Or should I just be a tourist? I really have no clue what to think, like at all. 
     Truth-be-told? I'm not even excited about going. That's not because I don't want to go, but because it doesn't seem real. I'm excited about flying there! Why?, because flying is tangible. I've flown before, I know what it's like, and I know I like flying. I've never been to a mysterious foreign country. I haven't even been to Canada. Seriously, I haven't traveled to very many exciting places.
     So how do I cope with this lack of feeling about my trip? I don't even know that! Honestly, I'm just so lost about this whole trip. I guess I'll see how I feel when the trip gets closer? See you Monday! (The day before I leave)

Two. Short. Weeks.

     I am not even close to being ready for this. At all.
How do I even prepare for a trip like this? No amount of lists can help me now.... Scary. 
     For all of you reading this (All two of you being my dear friend Sam and my computer-savy cat Fluffy...), I would like you to know that this blog isn't how I plan to become famous in the blogosphere. This blog is for the sole purpose of documenting my trip to Israel. This blog is to keep a memory alive, the memory of what is sure to be one of the greatest experiences of my life. (Have I mentioned that this doesn't even seem real?)
     Any-who....This is Basically what the trip is going to Consist of~

• Depart from Chicago February 5th. 
• Return February 16th. 
• A little less than two weeks in the Holy Land.
• We will tour all around, and see many famous places.
• The dead sea.
• The Jordan River.
• The Mount of Olives.
• The Garden of Gethsemane.
• Caesarea. 
• Nazareth.
• The Western Wall.
• The Temple Mount.

And much more...
     See you next week!
