Just back from the Israel and Jordan trip
Just arrived home last night from our Israel and Jordan trip.
The trip was WONDERFUL. I am exhausted, but enlightened.
Our tour director and all our local guides were wonderful.
LOTS of walking and lots of learning.
We were very well fed and cared for. Our group was great and everyone became friends. I love the fact they divided the group for touring in Jerusalem which made getting around the Old City much easier.
Tauck really knows how to put a trip together!
I'd be happy to answer any questions.

Much appreciated.

Thanks
I just sent it to you.
The trip is fantastic!
I tried to send you the documents, but the email address you listed didn't work.
Please send another copy of your notes. I lost what you sent to me somewhere in cyberspace. I have decided to go based on your comments and that of others.
Thanks,

We took this tour this past May. At no time did we feel unsafe or have any concerns. Tauck would not take you anywhere that wasn't safe.
Our tour director and local guides were wonderful. We also went off on our own in the evenings or late afternoon and never felt anything but safe.
I live in a suburb of Philadelphia and there is a lot more violence going on in Phila. than in Israel or Jordan.
The media really doesn't give us an accurate idea of what life is like there. We were very pleasantly surprised.
In terms of security -- honestly -- there was not one single second that we felt anything other than completely and totally safe. I think everyone in our group would say the same thing. In fact one day our tour director was talking about how he was sure that many of us had friends who thought we were crazy for going on this trip. Everybody laughed. What you might think being here in the U.S. and the reality of what you experience when you are there are very different. A friend of ours was actually in the tourist areas of Israel during the Lebanon war and said the same thing. The interesting thing about Israel is that on a day to day basis it is an incredibly safe country. We could go anywhere we wanted to -- both during the day and at night. Things there now are very quiet. You can even go to places like Bethlehem -- where I went when I was in Israel many, many years ago -- and later tourists could not go because of safety issues.
In Jordan we had a member of the tourist police with us when we traveled by bus. Again -- there was no time we felt anything other than totally safe in Jordan. Obviously this was just our experience and anything can happen anywhere at any time. That said -- we have been in other countries where we did not feel nearly as comfortable in terms of safety as we did in Israel and Jordan.
Can you send us a copy of your Israel/Jordan notes. We are scheduled to go on the Oct 27th trip. We are only doing Israel since we did Jordan 2 years ago when we did the Egypt/Jordan trip which was also wonderful.
Thanks, Cathie Herndon.
