Rick and I haven't had a real date in a while. Lately, we just seem to run errands together and call that a date. But last night we actually made reservations at a nice restaurant and then went to the movies afterwards! Dinner was very nice at Sweetwater Tavern. And then we saw Darkest Hour, which was okay but not as good as I expected it to be. It was rather contrived and they really dumbed down Winston Churchill. However, it wasn't horrible and I am fascinated with that time period in history. So it was an enjoyable evening. AND we started planning our 30th wedding anniversary trip.
I'm a bit suspicious so I'm kind of nervous about planning this far in advance. One never knows what may happen between now and then, but you only have 1 30th anniversary, so we decided to plan anyway.
So here's what we are thinking:
Leave home on Saturday, 10/27/18 on a night flight to London - nopstop.
Arrive in London around 7 a.m. their time Sunday. Spend the day going to Mass, some gentle sightseeing (maybe one of those city tour buses), some resting and relaxing.
Next morning take an early morning flight to Tel Aviv where hopefully our tour group will pick us up and get us to Jerusalem where the tour starts.
Then we spend the next week seeing Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Petra, Wadi Rum, Eilat, Negev Desert, Masada, the Dead Sea, Galilee and Nazareth.
We'll spend the last day (11/5 - our actually wedding anniversary) as a free day in Jerusalem.
11/6 we'll fly back to London and have that evening and the next two days to poke around London.
Fly home on Friday so we have the weekend to deal with jet lag.
I'm excited! I hope this works out!
The plan sounds great! If you would like a local tour guide for one of your days in London I would be very happy to show you around (but I would not be at all offended if you would rather have the time to yourselves, so no pressure!).
