5 am call: Barb and Dave James, Duane Ford, & Richard Zelenka at Sky Harbor

Sky Harbor at 5 am, JFK by 2pm, and then a 9pm departure for Tel Aviv. Another group of United Methodists (from Prescott UMC) are EO pilgrims, too (but they’re green bus folks). How can we already be jet-lagged?

David James, Sam Schwartz, Larry Spade, Joanne Dunleavy, Nat Felten, Duane Ford, and Pat Presley-Spade at JFK

1. Outlets are at a premium as everyone is charging up their gear for the 10 hours and 40 minute flight direct to Tel Aviv.

2. Coffee calculations running amok: caffeine? no? how to optimize sleep time on the plane and the availability of “Inception” on the in-demand movie channel?

Our chariot awaits

Not sure if David's noodles are Dupper, Sinner, Dunch, or Linner but they're good!

3. Still waiting for Tara Dyer to bring us a pizza from town. We’re making do with coconut sorbet.

    So glad you have all arrived, safely and that my dream that many of you missed the flight turned out to be wrong.

    Have a terrific time!!!

    It’s so great to think you are all having an experience of a lifetime — and that you will share it with all of us when you get back.
