Our Pilgrimage Begins

Don Hamer is on professional development leave until May 15. He is writing occasional posts to this blog to share some of his experiences.

Today is a travel day for us (as tomorrow will be as well). Frankie is driving us to Logan Airport about noon and our flight is scheduled to leave at 5:45. Scheduled arrival in Rome is 7:45 a.m. (1:45 EDT), with 2 hours to stretch before hopping on another plane for arrival in Tel Aviv scheduled at around 2:30 p.m. (6:30 a.m. EDT). From there it is about a 1/2 hour cab ride to St. George's Cathedral Guesthouse, where we will be staying for virtually our entire time in the Holy Land. Reading Enrique and Andrea's letter on the website made me realize what a miracle the Internet is -- how it allows us to stay in touch with friends and loved ones around the world. I am looking forward to sharing our experiences with you over these next couple of weeks. We will be holding you in our prayers during these holy days, and we ask that you hold us in your own.

Have a blessed day! Your brother in Christ, Don+
