My weeks of preparation paid off. I far exceeded my fundraising goal, thank you. I am in cycling shape, and the actual packing went easier than expected. Of course, I had some help along the way.
Today was rather hectic between last minute items, Jared's soccer game, and generally wanting to spend time with the family, but I pulled it off. In the end, I got a rousing send off from my family. I miss them already!
Well, it's time to grab some dinner, and make some phone calls. I'll try to blog each day, time and technology permitting. I hope you'll follow along and enjoy.
We miss you too! We went pumpkin picking on our way home from the airport and are looking forward to carving them with you when you get home. We also had wonderful dinner with Bubbe. I am so happy that you are able to blog and let us know what is going on there. Tomorrow we will be off to shechter soccer and I will be sure to post a comment or email you at the end of the day letting you know what is going on here.
ReplyDeleteI love you!

P.S. Also please keep posting pictures from the trip.
p.s.s Lacy just vomited up a bunch of treats. We don't know why. Maybe she is sick or the treats just aren't good for her
ReplyDeleteHey Gabi,
ReplyDeleteMaybe Lacy is missing daddy! Stephen as I mentioned good luck, and I am looking forward to "watching" your journey.

Hi Stephen, I hope you had a pleasant flight from Newark to TA. We're looking forward to following along your adventure. Gabi hope little Lacy is all better now. See you tomorrow. xoxo Renata
ReplyDeleteThis is fun. Your Mother is blogging! Had breakfast with Neal and family today, pizza with Ed and family tonight. Patriots are losing ! Good luck and have fun. Don't eat too much falafel.

Lacy is feeling better now. Today we went to shechter soccer and then I went shopping with Bubbe, Adam went to a thing with the temple at Crazy Janes and mom and Jared went to the pumpkin festival and haunted house at tilly and salvy's. After mom, Jared and Adam came home, Bubbe took us out for dinner at Shang Hai tokeo ( is that spelled right?). Tomorrow Uncle Ben will pick us up at 7:20 And take us to the bus. We miss you.

At bit jealous since I love to bike for exercise. Don't forget to post!
ReplyDeleteHi dad,
ReplyDeleteMom told me you are having trouble accessing the Internet. That is too bad but try and make up for it on your next post. I would like to here what you are doing there. Thank you for sending us the picture this morning. If you cannot post please keep sending pictures. Today I had soccer practice. I think I got the messiest I have ever gotten playing soccer but it was fun. Yesterday lacy met mrs. Gamolka's daughter and today mrs. Gamolka said that she really loved it so I think she would be a great dog to go to the nursing home.
I miss you and love you,
Gabi
Hi Steve, we gather that you are having a problem with Verizon. D says that there is poor coverage for V in Israel. Hope u can square it away. Taking Jared to his soccer game on Sat., should be fun, hope to take all the kids out for lunch afterward. Going to Foxwoods tomorrow for 3 days to celebrate our anniversary. Hope all is going well for u and we look forward to an update when u are able.

WOW! So great to hear about your trip to date. Your excitement is palpable ! Hope you didn't meet the shouk owner who kicked me out of his shop for bargaining too much !
ReplyDeletehave fun, stay safe.
Love, Mom
Hi dad, Sounds like you are having lots of fun. I wish I could be there. Today Renata picked me up from school and took me to a girl scouts spa thing with Gabriella. After the spa me, Gabriella and Eta got dinner. After dinner we went to dance and after dance Eta drove me home. Right now mom is having a meeting here.
ReplyDeleteI love you,
Gabi
Great dialogue on your days so far. Sounds wonderful. We can empathize with the high temperatures which we had in Egypt. Took Jared to his final soccer game today, so cute, they won. Then took the three kids to Panera for lunch. Everybody is anxious to see you. Enjoy the rest of the trip, love to you and Kurt.
