PACKING FOR ISRAEL - DETOX ALMOST FINISHED

We survived our detox and have started incorporating rice, salmon, eggs and chicken back into our diet.  No breads, pasta or carbs just yet but we feel great.  The weather in southern California has been beautiful and we've spent some time lounging around the mineral springs spa and pool.  Just lovely.
One of the few times there are no people in the pool 

The water gets you wet but won't cool you down
Weather has been beautiful - I  feel bad for my friends and family back east

I found a Groupon for two detox foot baths each and a consultation by Dr. Steven Nelson.  If his name sounds familiar that because he was a featured doctor in Suzanne Summer's books.  Dr. Nelson is sought after world wide for his expertise in diagnostic evaluations and naturopathic treatments.  So when I saw a Groupon for $28 for both of us, I snapped it up.  We had our first foot bath and my water didn't change color (which is a good thing) but Denis' water turned a rusty red color.  When we go back, the doctor will have the results of our assessments and an explanation of why Denis' water changed color.  So interesting.

Today we started our initial packing for our Holy Land tour to determine if our carry-on suitcases and backpacks will hold what we need.  I'm proud to say that we can pack everything we need without using the maximum size allowed by the tour company.  

Last night we were reading the information packet provided and got really excited about the places we're going to visit and the hotels we're staying at.  In the rose-red city of Petra, we'll experience the spirit of 19th Century style living without sacrificing modern comforts.  In Israel, we'll be on top of a cliff overlooking the deep blue Mediterranean on our private balcony, another hotel is located on the boardwalk of the Sea of Galilee and then six nights in a hotel in Jerusalem with breath-taking vistas, a romantic skyline and the surrounding hills of Judea.  Doesn't that sound amazing?  We've never done anything like this and I can barely contain myself.

Thanks for stopping in to say hi.

  3. You need to check out Danny and Shula's blog - http://danyshula.blogspot.com. They are from Israel and RV in the US during the summer. Right now they are off the coast of Spain but if you look back in the blog, they have posted about their homeland. You are going to have so much fun.
