Hello From The North Side! | Shorashim - Israel with Israelis

Hello From The North Side!

By Danielle and Andrew

Hello from Kibbutz Moran!

After what was for many people on our Central Florida Hillel Birthright trip, the longest travel day of our lives, we are all finally resting comfortably at our kibbutz in the beautiful North of Israel. To recap the day briefly, we left Miami International Wednesday afternoon without delay or incident and arrived in Vienna in the same fashion. We surprised our participants with a raffle during our brief layover and gave away spending money for Israel! Everyone was in high spirits as we left for Israel and arrived on time!

Passport Control, Customs, and baggage claim were a breeze and things really started getting good when we met our seven Israeli participants, tour guide, bus driver, and guard. They have all been unbelievably welcoming and friendly towards our bus and this experience. We arrived at our kibbutz after "a long 40 minute" drive where we ate a wonderful dinner and were oriented to the Birthright experience. Our rooms for the next three days are gorgeous and everyone is excited with their roommate assignments.

 

Looking forward to an exciting and physically demanding day tomorrow (filled with hiking and kyaking). Until tomorrow, time for some well-earned sleep!

Your Bus 818 staff,
Andrew and Danielle
