Israel is now

Well I arrived a the coach pick up point and met a few people whom I'd met before so that made me feel a bit more at ease, after saying goodbye to my parents, we headed off to Luton Airport and eventually took off around 1.30pm, we landed 7pm Israel time and after a quick stop to passport control we were whisked over to the old terminal at Ben Gurion Airport to fill in some forms and get our Teudat Oleh, after that we headed to our 1st stop and our hotel for the night. Some of us found time to chat and before we knew it was 2am before we headed for bed. After little sleep we got up and faced our 1st full day in Israel and it was a busy one. We started by attending an expo to get our phone contacts, our banking sorted and other things as well. That took us until lunchtime and after a lunch we headed for the Kottel where the ceremony to give us our Teudat Zehut our Israeli IDs took place and after that we headed back to the Hotel to pick up our luggage and head off to our respective destinations. After a 2 hour drive myself and other arrived in Haifa at the place that will be our home for the next 5 months while we learn hebrew. And after that its job hunting but thats a worry for another day.
