Welcome!

Welcome to my Jerusalem Center blog!!! Yay! Hooray! So, let me apologize now for the lack of pictures in this blog. The Jerusalem Center has a low bandwidth that does not accommodate file uploads. But I will write in periodically with updates on what I'm doing. Especially reviews of trips. I'm doing this here because Facebook has been blocked in the Center thanks to a bunch of kids being idiots last semester. I will, of course, put my pictures on Facebook when I get back in December.

Today we had the orientation meeting. Lots of sitting and listening. I'll be at the airport (SLC) at 8 tomorrow morning. Then it's off to JFK, and finally to Tel Aviv. I am a travel group leader. That means that I am in charge of making sure that 16 people get on the flights and don't have problems with losing passports or luggage. Shouldn't be too bad. Even though all the other group leaders only have to worry about 5. But I have the direct flight. I leave later and get there sooner than them. Happy day.

Updates on the trip to come.  Next post from Jerusalem.

  1. You're flight group leader. Meaning you were picked by default because your last name was first alphabetically, just like they did it from the MTC?

  2. Alphabetical and I had previous international flying experience. Oh, and apparently I seemed like I wouldn't have a problem talking to people.
