Time to collect those passport stamps...

FINALLY... after nearly 3 and a half months of classes... and hearing about everyone's fabulous spring breaks and events-- LITTLE 500-- I am on SPRING BREAK!!

This past weekend, my friend Tamara and I went to Sinai-- it was beautiful. We stayed at a private Hilton Resort-- all inclusive and it costs us each 50 dollars. We also spent a night in Eilat which was fun as well.

We returned to Be'er Sheva for a few days of class (and a Hebrew test...) and now it's all over for a glorious week and a half. We're leaving in a little over an hour for Eilat and tomorrow Tamara, Lauren, Susanna and I will cross the Taba Israel/Egypt boarder crossing again as we head to CAIRO!!! I'm really excited--pyramids, museums, etc. We booked a 2-day tour with an Israeli tour company and it was really reasonably priced--there's an english speaking guide and we're staying in a 5 star hotel. We return to Eilat on Thursday evening and are heading back to Be'er Sheva on the lovely 1 am bus.... ehhh hmm....

When I return to Be'er Sheva-- I'll have about 8 hours to repack all my things for my week in EUROPE! Friday morning, Liza and I are heading up to Tel Aviv to have seder at Ohad's house and bright and early Sunday morning I'm flying to Barcelona (via Brussels on Brussels Airlines). I'm going to be in Barcelona for 3 days and then jumping over to Berlin for 4 days! :-) Let's start rackin' up those passport stamps!!

I'll be sure to take PLENTY of pictures. Upon returning back to Israel... it'll be the last month here... filled with lots of trips and lots of school work... until then...

Chag Pasech Samecha!

It'll be like we're in that Prince of Egypt movie...

As much as I hate to admit it... my semester is quickly coming to an end... thus... I am happy to announce that I will be making the most out of the next (less than) two months I have here in Israel... specifically-- I'm really excited about my next planned trip!

Next Thursday, April 10th after Hebrew my friend Tamara and I will be boarding an Egged bus and heading to Eilat!! We're spending Thursday night at Beit Ha'Arava Hostel and spending Friday at the beautiful Eilat beach. Friday afternoon... we will be heading to the Taba Israel/Egypt boarder crossing. That's right... WE'RE GOING TO SINAI!!! Friday-Saturday we'll be at the Hilton Nuweiba Coral Resort in Nuweiba City, Egypt. An all-inclusive resort vacation (i.e. all meals, snacks, non-alcoholic drinks, a hotel room with a balcony either over looking the Red Sea or Sinai Mountains, two pools, restaurants, shopping and a private beach... aka heaven) all for the fabulous price of fifty two dollars. :-)

I'm excited... nothing like reenacting the Exodus the week before Pesach!
