BRB, Israel

Family & friends,

Thank you for your lovely goodbyes. Every one of your “have an amazing time”’s and “don’t say no to anything”’s over the past few days have built the excitement up to a boiling point which can only lead up to a crazy, loud, security-guard-filled time in the airport tomorrow, outside the usually quiet airline offices.

Your gifts ranging from chocolates to a Swiss Army Knife with a built in saw will keep us going through the year. Every time we miss our shower or bed or a home-cooked meal, we’ll have something to remember your pretty faces by.

Time to zip up our suitcases, cry out all our bodily fluids & head off.

Stay safe, don’t do anything we wouldn’t do.

Nir

Weird thinking the trip is only days away!
We experienced a wonderful fed camp last week which got us all into the Shnat spirit.
With 29 year 12s on camp, 25 of them shnatties a lot of fun was had ruaching, bonding and learning.
While many of us are experiencing their first excitement, others are just hitting the pre-flight nerves, while still others can't quite believe the reality. On all fronts (Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, NZ) packing is under way and tickets are being picked up. Nir's Shnog is just about ready to go public!
11 Days to Go...
