As of this post, I am officially on my way to Newark Liberty Airport, en route for my flight to Israel. I’ll be away for twelve days, exploring the country, compliments of [1] Taglit birthright, and guided by [2] EzraUS.org.

I didn’t want to completely abandon you guys, so I left this site in the hands of some of my favorite bloggers. They will be posting here for your reading pleasure, and leaving links back to their sites so you can read more from them.

My trip is planned out on a very strict schedule with 40 of my peers. We’re basically getting up anywhere from 3am-6am to go sight see, and going to sleep anywhere from 2am-3am after experiencing the night life in Israel. After this vacation, I’m going to need a vacation!

Some of the things I’m really excited for are climbing mount Masada, swimming in the dead sea, and seeing Jerusalem and Tel-Aviv. The Holocaust museum is going to be an experience - a sad one. We’ll also be visiting a number of other tombs, museums and cities during this trip.

I’ll put up some good pictures when I come back after July 2nd. However, I won’t be back for long, on the 7th I’ll be going to Dominican Republic for a week, for the real vacation.

In the mean time, I suggest that you read some of the blogs that are currently in my feed reader to keep yourself entertained.

I’m going to stop this list at 10, even though I read many many more blogs than this on a daily basis. I just don’t think anyone looks through a list of more then 10. I would rather include some great content from my favorite bloggers in the future.

With that said, if you are a blogger, and you enjoy writing about the things covered on this site, feel free to submit some of your work via the contact form. When I come back from Israel, and have one million e-mails to look through, I’ll be choosing some guest bloggers for my time away in Dominican.

While I’m gone, feel free to look through the [13] archives for some of my old posts. Use one of the various ways mentioned in the [14] new visitors page to save this site for later reading. Last but not least, please [15] sign up for my free newsletter, as I will be sending out interesting info, available only to newsletter subscribers, sometime late July.
