I am sooo late posting this - sorry! Back in oct. we went to Israel - my husband has family there and I had never been. All I can say was it was AMAZING!!!!!!!! Please...if you even THINK you want to go ... go!! We went to Haifa, Jerusalem, and Tel Aviv. We also did a lot of day trips to areas up north, Massada, The dead sea, etc...everything there is very beautiful and very spiritual. (oh, and GREAT shopping...esp. in Tel Aviv.)
Here are a couple of quick pics...
This is me and DH at the dead sea - covered in dead sea mud (great for the skin).
Proof that 13 month olds get jet lag too
