Shalom Dear Fellow Traveler,

Shalom.  All the things you’ve heard about a trip to The Holy Land are true!  It is definitely a life-enhancing, faith-building, wondrous experience.  The term “to walk where Jesus walked” may be over-used but it is, however, appropriate. The hotels are 4 & 5-star.  The food is excellent.  The tour bus is brand new.  We have the best guides and we’re going in November when the weather is excellent and the tourist season is winding down.

The biggest question we get from people is: “Is it safe?”  The security in Israel is very strong.  We’ve been 10 times and have never experienced even a hint of a problem.  Statistically, it is more dangerous to go to Mexico than Israel.  The fact is, more violence happens each day in New York City than in all of Israel.  That’s because there is very little crime.  Obviously, we would not be going if we did not personally feel safe.

Please read the brochure and enclosed materials thoroughly.  There is a lot of information here and you need to be aware of everything contained in these documents.  Each person going on the tour must fill out a registration form, sign and return with a $250 per person deposit in order to reserve a seat.  We only have 35 seats available and it will fill up fast. This is definitely on a first-come basis.

Fuel surcharges have now become common with virtually all airlines. However, surcharges can only be assessed up until the tickets are actually purchased.  So, in order to save you money we are buying the airline tickets early.  That’s why we are requiring 50% of the tour price in our office by July 31^st.   

You will make new friends that will last a lifetime and this trip will be one of the most enjoyable and meaningful experiences of your life.  We’re looking forward to getting to know you and hosting you in Israel.  Shalom!

Love in Christ,

Tom & Melanie Dooley
