Day One: The Journey
It took us around 30 hours to get to Tel Aviv. The flights were long and we were all exhausted and jet-lagged when we arrived. Most people had only gotten about 2 hours of sleep the night before and there were a handful of people who hadn't slept at all. (We had to be at the airport starting at 4:45 a.m.).
I sat next to Matt on two of the flights. Nice guy, from Salt Lake. On the first flight we shared our row with a hyperactive Italian man who sells the machines that make micro-chips for computers (or something like that). On the flight to Vienna we were lucky enough to fly on Vienna Air, which must be the happiest airline around, as can be seen by the colorful interior of thier planes and frightfully red tights of their flight attendants. We spent an hour or so in Vienna and then flew to Tel Aviv.
It was beautiful when we arrived. Sunny and nice.

It looked a lot like flying into any other city.
