We have had a great trip and are now at the airport in Tel Aviv awaiting our long flight. We are waiting for check-in and spending the time charging phones, changing clothes and just simply relaxing. 

Our flight back to San Francisco is a little over 15 hours. Six of us will be together on the flight. Another ten of our group have multiple flights to other cities in the East.  Even though we leave at the same time they will arrive home much later than we will. 
It has been a great trip and I have gained some new friends that I will continue to be in contact with through the years. 
We will all have great memories of our trip to Israel. This is a trip that I recommend to any of my readers. This was my fourth trip and I am already thinking of when I can return again.
