Wednesday

Today starting our trip on the right foot for sure. We had a fantastic day.

We started out on a boat trip across the Sea of Galilee.  This one of my favourite things on the schedule. The weather was gorgeous!

We could feel the spirit as Bro. Tony Spell preached that if the Lord said we were going to the other side then that's exactly what will happen...even if a storm comes and tries to tell us we won't. 

We stopped for a viewing of the Galilee boat then went on to Nazereth where we toured a replica of a village in Jesus' time.

Mt Carmel was next with a fabulous view of the valley of Armageddon. 

Then on to the ruins of Caperneum, the town where Jesus did much of his ministry.  What a feeling to be there on the shores where he made Peter and John fishers of men.

Lastly, we went to the area where Jesus would have spoke to the multitude what we now call the "The Beattitudes."

We are now sitting in the dining room.  Relishing the day!

We are here!

We are all safely in Israel!

Took long enough but we are all excited to be here.

After arriving in Tel Aviv at our hotel we all gathered in the dining room for a buffet dinner. Afterwards some of us took a stroll along the path that runs behind our hotel along the shore of none other than the Sea of Galilee.  I love that stroll.

I am sure tomorrow more people will have access to internet and will give you a shout.

I will try to keep you posted everyday if possible.

Headed to bed for the first time since Monday morning!  :)

Follow us as we experience the Holy Land!

Off

Okay off to the airport.  If I forgot something I just forgot it!!!  I have my passport and boarding passes so I am set!!

See you all there at 1 pm!

It is still saying D44.  That is the first terminal you come to when you approach the departures. 

Frequent Flyer Number

You can use your frequent flyer number on this flight if they are a partner.  Just check frequent flyer 1st.  Add your number and last name.  Then it will ask your booking reference number.

I didn't know this until Jolene discovered it.  So I am going to ask them at the gate to add my Aeroplan number to it!!

YEAH!!

YEAH I HAVE IT!

The booking reference for the rest of the group is  47J8YT.  You can check in, print your boarding pass and be at the airport by 1 pm.  Go right through security to Gate D44.  Check monitor to see if that is still the gate.

You will need your expiry date on your passport.

REMEMBER DO NOT CHANGE YOUR SEAT if you are one that we asked to swap with someone.  Just check in using the seat that comes up.

Tip:  For those of you who can change your seat....the only ones I saw available were in the back of the plane.  They weren't good seats last time.  But that is your call.

Please let me know if you are having any problems checking in.

Also if you check in online would you please give me a call and let me know that  you did or shoot me an e-mail?

BON VOYAGE!

Booking Reference

This is the booking reference for those staying over only.  It won't work for those who are coming back March 24th.  We will try to get that one in the morning when they open.

BOOKING REF 2KBLTV

Brooks, Dehod, King, MacLeod, Melwood T

Online Check in

I was able to check in online and print my boarding pass!

We are going to call in the morning and see if they will give us the other booking references.  I only had the one for the people that were staying over. 

If they do Loro and I will try to contact you with your booking reference.

I will also post it here.

If we are able to obtain it and you check in and print your boarding pass you can go straight through security to the gate because you are not checking bags.

If you check in online then please be at the airport by 1 pm and go ahead and go through security to the gate.

Right now it is saying gate D44.  Check the monitors to make sure the gate hasn't changed.

I hope it all works out this way so you don't have such a long wait.
