All I can say is, Holy Moly! We arrived back Friday night after two great weeks of touring in Israel and Egypt. And the jet lag has hammered us big time. The last day we were in Egypt, we had a six o'clock wake up call, not to head to the airport, but to do another day of touring. We had the best guides in Israel and Egypt. Neither of them had any interest in sleeping in, so they worked us like it was our last day on earth! We toured Cairo throughout the day, with promises of returning in time to rest. We knew they were empty promises. We had already been with Soha for four days and knew she had no interest in allowing our ragged bodies anytime to recuperate.
By 7 p.m. we were heading to the airport for our 11 p.m. and twelve hour flight home to New York. After arrival, we still had a full day of travel ahead of us. We finally arrived in Lexington at 4:30 p.m., after literally being awake for what was at least 48 hours.
Hence the jet lag. Now I know what your thinking. No one made you take the trip. It was self-imposed for sure. It was a magnificent trip. Israel was so cool. Egypt was simply amazing. The travelers we went with could not have been better had we picked them each by name.
But the jet lag, well, . . . sucks. Just sayin'. I've tried every advice of cure I've been given. Even a little meditation. Nada works. Oh well. It will pass with time. But it was worth it. I think. I guess. Yep.
See ya around!
Welcome back - it takes hours and hours of good "REM" sleep. I just loved the experience. So glad everyone is safely home. I am deep into Jewish History and Culture - starting of course with The Idiot's Guide to Jewish History and Culture.
ReplyDeleteThose books are really good. Lookng for a book called "Travels of Egeria" -I find these people of God absolutely fascinating. Even Chris Columbus brought aboard a Jewish man who could interrupt Hebrew, thinking that he would stumble upon the 10 lost tribes. Thanks to you and all the group. It was glorious. My aunt is leaving this Wed 19th with a church group from Maysville. Hope she gets Danny Levy. Danny is a super human being. Enough already - Lots of sleep is the answer - forget about Zen. and
