Great TR! Thank you for writing such an elaborate report. It has so much information and is very helpful to me as I plan my family's trip for this summer. Just wanted you to know that even after all these months, people read and your time and effort are appreciated.

Thanks Joe!

Entertaining read.

Few comments:
-No need to apologize that much in the beginning - it's sad you didn't fly first class; but neither me or any other DDFer lost any sleep because of your stinky coach trip, so you don't have to feel bad for us and be apologetic.

-The pics are not that bad at all, I don't know what you're talking about.

-I think I had an English version of the APN Israel app when I was there recently.

-Bad idea to pay at the hotel as you can't take advantage of booking through shopping portals. I booked on hotels.com through Chase UR portal and got an extra 2PPD.

-How is it possible to have a Segway tour in old city Jerusalem? How did you handle all the stairs?

-You should've dropped Hoffmans tours. When someone tells me I charge you more for using a CC, I tell them "you just lost a good customer and all his friends".

-Don't feel bad about missing the audio-guides in Masada, I found it to be annoying.

-Good budgeting man! Not easy to keep a trip like that at $4k.

Overall nice and detailed report (and fun to read too).

Thank you!

can you still book hotels.com through chase portal? didn't see that as an option, unless I am searching in the wrong place

Thanks for this informative trip report!We are planning a family trip for Sukkos and I don't know where to start.  I enjoyed reading about your travels rather than the usual, how I paid, where I stayed so typical of the reports on this forum.. A trip report that included what you did!!!! thank you!
