Ok, trip is getting closer and it's time to start figuring out the details lol.
It seems pretty unanimous that stuffing the north and Dead Sea et al into two days is nuts, so we're scrapping that.
Here's what I have so far, with some questions in bold:
Wednesday:
Arrive TLV 7pm. Head to our apartment in Jlem for dinner and bed.
Thursday:
Probably wake up late. Breakfast, Kosel (GEVAAAAAALD), Har Hazeisim (family and Ohr Hachaim). Afternoon private Muslim Quarter tour with
@satturn. Dinner. Evening Kever Rochel (
how do I get there? Taxi is safe? I'd rather not take the bus.)
Friday:
Private guided tour and bird banding at the Jerusalem Bird Observatory. Shuk, Kikar Hashabbos, Mea Shearim, wander about, get ready for Shabbos. Kosel Friday night davening.
Shabbos:
Visit family and relax a bit.
Sunday:
Pick up rental car in Jlem and head to Amuka/Meron/Tzfas/Teveria area (
where do we go here? Way too many places and too little time lol). Overnight Tzfas.
Monday:
Hula Valley in the morning, followed by more local sights (
which?). Overnight as close to TLV as possible (
ideas?)
Tuesday:
Return car at TLV, 6:55am departure.
Itinerary notes:Anything to do on Motzei Shabbos?
Up north: I want to go to Meron, Ari, Amuka at the very least. Where else?
Tzfas: would love to wander about and get the real feel for the place. Where exactly do I do that?
