Our final journey. It's hard to think that our pilgrimage to Greece/Turkey and Israel is coming to a close, but like all things there is an ending; but we realize that when something ends there is always a new beginning! And at the end of our journey we will start again on a brand new adventure with God our Father leading us forward and upward. Our flight home had a 1.5 hour transit through Bangkok. We were put off the plane and had to go through the airport an...

After a full day of traveling, first by bus to Fumicinco Airport in Rome, 1 1/2 hours, and the by plane to Dubai, we arrived at our destination at 11:55pm and were welcomed by 41 degree heat!

We jumped into a taxi and headed for our motel, the Sheriton Dubai Creek, where we were very well looked after. We just wanted a bed with air-con...

It was a slow day today, but a good day. We started it badly by having to complain about our Internet service as it kept dropping out and then we were unable to login at all. After more than an hour it finally started to work. So we were able to talk to Phill and Roxanne and Aeysha. After breakfast we headed out for the Holocaust Museum, which was good to see but left us incredibly sad and melancholy. The attempted genocide by the Hitler regime was an atrocity ...
