Only 4 Days!

We are only four days away from our big trip to Egypt and Israel. We are both getting very excited about the trip. We are also a little worried about the violence in Israel, but realize that our seminary and the travel agency have been to the Middle East many times and and have taken students on trips hundreds of times and we feel confident that they are keeping our safety first in their minds.

We hope that you will follow us on our journey, we will try to update this bog as often as possible on our 15 days. Here's a quick itinerary so that you can get an idea of where we are and what we will be doing on any given day.
