Like so many others before and since, my first direct experience with the State of Israel involved landing on Israeli soil at Lod Airport amid a thunder of applause. I'm not sure why the applause caught me by surprise, but it was a wonder-filled...
Despite Israel's small size, it, like America, has bodies of water on the east and west border. Very much unlike America, you can make it from one to the other on foot in a couple of days. It's a wonderful hike called the sea-to-sea hike and I was on...
Pros: wonderful way to spend time with family. Cons: Beyond the formal gardens, this area is not wheelchair accessible.
There is much to see in the country of Israel far more than one opinion of material. Unfortunately, Epinions has done away with multiple entries in travel categories, and yet they only have 6 locations listed for the whole place. For the time-being,...

Pros: World History, site seeing, spirituality Cons: armed conflicts
I was lucky enough to go to Israel on a 12 day guided tour in January 2000. Before I left, I was a bit concerned about the media's representation of the region. I thought there might be gun battles in the street or a bus I was riding would blow up....
Pros: History, tradition, religious perspective Cons: Oh, don't even get me started (see below)

Review Topic: Overview
