A day of travel and I'm in Israel!

This is it! I am officially in Israel! My wonderful momma came to see me off and we had a wonderful time. 

My day started yesterday at 3am with the first flight to Chicago. Newark was next and after a flight delay, we finally boarded to head to Israel! Here's a few pictures of the last days in the states and traveling!

Farewell dinner at Roosters!

Packed and alarms set!

The 6am flight was very pretty. 

 A little flight map to keep us encouraged that the never ending flight will end...

And we're here!! Welcome to Israel!

Tomorrow is the first day of the dig so I will have more to tell but I am so excited and thankful to be here!

Shukran! (Thank you in Arabic, but please excuse the spelling)
