I have arrived in Israel. An easy flight. Actually got about 4 hrs sleep. It is just after 6 pm on Sunday. 7 hours difference from Atlanta. </div>
<div>
I've attached some photos of this leg as we approached Israel.<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
I'm just about packed for the trip to Israel - 13 hrs of travel !!</div>
<div>
I've learned over the years to bring only the inessentials. </div>
<div>
Also need to leave room in my bag for that GREAT Israeli chocolate, which will take the space now occupied by my power bars for the ride.</div>
<div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I leave for the Israel bike ride in a week. This will be my 5th time on the ride and I am looking forward to seeing some old friends and meeting new ones.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The bike ride is a fundraising event to support the Arava Institute. This ride provides a unique perspective about Israel - her people and environment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The staff consists of Arava alumni, and they will be our guides for this 300-mile journey from Jerusalem to Eilat. Over 170 people from across the globe have made a commitment for this year's ride.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Below please find a visual of our planned route. I will be with the <b>Tzofim</b> group (the route in the middle)</span><br />
