I'm firming up plans to spend a week to ten days in Israel, probably from 30 April until about 9 May. As of now, it's likely to be about a week in Jerusalem (probably renting a friend's little apartment in Baka'a) then a few days with my cousins in Ra'anana (outside of Tel Aviv).

This would be my first trip to Israel in seven years, and my very first trip in the spring. I am so looking forward to seeing the flowers in bloom, and would love to meet up with any STers for lunch, dinner, or just a drink.

I've now set my trip.

I'm due to arrive in Israel on Tuesday, 29 April and leave late morning Friday, 9 May. I've reserved the studio in Baka for the entire time, although it is possible that I will just stay at my cousin's place for a night or two.

So ----lunch? dinner? coffee?

That's great! Now that all is set, Marian, our best wishes for a wonderful trip!

Hi Marian,

Would love to try and get together with you. Let's discuss!!

Wonderful, Dorit. I will send you a PM with my e-mail address.

Oh, and I just heard from my cousin who lives in Jerusalem and has a bakery there ----- somehow I haven't seen her in 30 years. But I will probably see her on Yom Ha'atzma'ut.

Marian,

I cannot get PM as I am not a premium member, how shall we work this??

I believe you can read the PM in your e-mail, but not see it on the forum. So this should work.

That's correct, I just remembered that. I will look at it from home (I am at work right now) and be in touch with you later tonight.

Hey Dorit, good to see you around. Marian, I am so jealous of you all - well at least there's next year!

Hi there Kim,

Oh I am around. I just am pretty much keeping to myself......

Bumping this one up. Anyone else want to get together in Jerusalem?

Bumping up again, and looking forward to being in Jerusalem in just over three weeks!
