Well, now that the tickets are nailed down!! WHOO...I have to spend time teaching so I can pay down the Credit card hehe...luckly I am supposed to get my raise any day now...so that will help too...but now I have to start planning hotels, itinerary and such.

___

So, immediately after purchasing my ticket the first person I told was my sister.  Actually I did not even make it out of the airport before I was on the phone with her.   She was really happy for me...she said mom would be very proud of what I have done with my life.   I really don't know how to respond to things like that.. Just never have, I just said thanks.   I asked her to take me to the airport once Sept rolls around - I will be damned to leave my car in an airport unattended LOL..She said she would...    So I am even happier another issue resolved.

Later that day, I called my grandmother and gave her the news. She was very excited and very nervous/scared.  I think she is nervous with the bombings and such...well that isn't going to stop me from going!   I am going to call her back to get the number of a more distant relative, grandma believes that she will know about any relations we have in Israel.  So, that is next on my agenda.

Heheh...people at work crack me up.   Everyone is happy that I got the tickets LOL (I think they want me out of the office LOL) and my secretary..she says the day before I go they are going to get me a funeral wreath as a going away gift.  Joe, one of our foremen, overhead Daryl and I talking about my flight and stuff and he asked me where I was going and I told him Israel for two weeks and he was like..wow..umm..aren't there bombs and stuff going on there LOL  then he said just be careful.  

That pretty much sums up the reactions so far.
