Thankfully, the knots in my stomach have untied - not going to lie, I was getting a little nervous and excited. I still don't think it's hit yet - but by this time tomorrow (well, Israel-time) we'll be in the Holy Land, dining on the Sea of Galilee.
Marisa and I are rooming together, so that should be nice. It's so good to share this experience. (And it's a good thing it's a pilgrimage - otherwise we'd be much more prone to bickering.)
I've already met some new people - with a range of ages of all 40 of us, one of the things I am most excited for is the diversity of wisdom and experiences everyone brings to the table. (On a side note, I think that's why I enjoy MOC so much.)
Well, we're about to take off. Here we go...

Operation flight to Tel Aviv...
*to JFK --> started reading "Saints and Social Justice" (more on this amazing book later!)
*to Tel Aviv -->
- Marisa's tv wouldn't turn off - temperamental - we had a good laugh
- I turned on the Lego Movie while Marisa was asleep - when she woke up, she was still partly delirious and couldn't figure out how to turn it off. When she realized what happened, we both started cracking up.
- Watched "Philomena" & "House of Cards" (episodes 1-4)
- Got skipped over a few times for food, but they just kept bringing more and more of it. We had dinner, a snack, and then breakfast/lunch
We should be landing in Tel Aviv within the half hour. Then, we'll go through customs and board our bus to our hotel on the Sea of Galilee (where we'll have dinner). It's just like Fr. Ken said - no one's losing weight on this trip. (Ha ha.)
