Upgraded! and Recommendations...

I'm happy to report an upgrade to our lodging in Jerusalem. Thanks to another traveling group that grew larger than expected, we were moved from the Sheraton Plaza in Jerusalem (a 4-star hotel) to the beautiful Inbal Hotel (a 5-star hotel). For those of you who might have been to Israel in years past, you might remember this as the "LaRomme" Hotel.

We're only about 5-1/2 weeks away from departure and the excitement is building. I know I've started shopping for my travel items. Found a good score at Harmon Drugs for those interested. In the first aisle...with all the travel-sized products, I found 3-packs of Tide detergent specifically for traveling. The package is designed for washing just a few items in a sink with warm water. I recommend purchasing these since we don't really know what laundering facilities will be available to us.

For what it's worth, I also recommend purchasing CHEWABLE tablets of Immodium, Pepto, and other stomach remedies. Since we ARE traveling to another country with different seasonings, spices, etc, one never knows how a body will tolerate the unique foods. BE PREPARED!
