Another Internet free day but I’m happy to report that we had a great time at the Underwater Observatory, Tna Park and our bot ride on the Red Sea. I’ll do my best to post a boatload (pun intended) of photos tomorrow from Wadi Musa, Jordan after our visit to Wadi Rum. Stay tuned….
Suffering can take on many forms in a person’s life.
It is common to ask questions when suffering.
When you are going through a trial, there is one question that you absolutely must ask: what do I do now?

I’m waiting for the Internet provider to get the service working-hopefully tomorrow. In the meantime here’s a quick update from my phone!
The flight from JFK to Ben Gurion airport was great, we had slot of room since the flight wasn’t booked completely. Aftr a brief stop at Solomons tomb we arrived at our Jerusalem hotel for the first night and headed for the Dead Sea early this morning.
I’ll try to postphotos from our visit to Qumeran, Ein Gedi and Masada.
Tomorrow we have Sababa in Eilat with a boat excursion on the Ref Sea and a visit to Tomma.
Stay tuned and be sure to follow the Twitter hastag #4seas.
