Day one of the trip is so far uneventful... which is good.  We had a relaxing ride from home to the airport, with a stop at Bob Evans for Breakfast.  We were early enough to the airport that the check-in desk wasn't open yet, so we had about an hour wait.  After checking in we found our way to terminal B and had a difficult time choosing between Max & Erma's and 5 Guys for a late afternoon diner.  Max & Erma's won out since we have a 5 guys at home.  We are now about 2 hours to boarding, then will be out of touch until tomorrow evening, Tel Aviv time (6 hrs ahead of EDT).
We met up with about 15 other people so far on the same trip, so we are expecting quite a group.  Everyone is very nice and as excited as we are.

See you from Tel Aviv!
