- Why are there so many babies going to Israel? Business or pleasure?
- Planes can drive, and also fly. Flying cars aren’t the future, they are just airplanes.
- Good to know that the thin piece of metal outside my window is all that is preventing us from plummeting to our doom. Maybe if I stare at it for 10 hours straight it will be self-conscious and try hard to do a good job.
- Oh, I get it. Airplanes move fast.
- I hope to use the next 20 minutes to learn how to understand Sky Mall jokes on a more profound level.
- Turbulence is fun in that “Oh God I’m too young to die,” kind of way.
- Dear Airplane Tortellini,
You looked like you should have been served hot, but you were cold. I forgive you.
- I just said “no thank you” to some water when in reality I definitely wanted some. Why did I do that?
- Oh, I get it. Airplanes go above clouds.
- Dear Israel,
Your rocks are tan and your signs are in three languages.
- I saw a camel. I think I can go home now.
- Dear Israel,
Your buildings are boxy.
- Dear “King of the Road” Truck,
You are probably not a Pete & Pete reference, but I like to think that you are.
- Dear what I think are cacti,
Are you cacti? I think so.
I have to admit, you make more sense than pedestrian time.
- For a desert, there sure is a lot of agriculture here.
- Meeting a lot of new people all at once is pretty much my least favorite way to meet new people.
- Idan (our tour guide): “I’m afraid of tits.”
- Carlie: “I have dirt in my belly-button.”
Idan: “You’re a dirty cracker!”
I hope that you enjoy feasting on my exotic American blood.
- The secret to haggling: genuine disinterest.
- You can’t spell Jerusalem and also Jeremy without ‘Jer,’ so that’s something.
- So, apparently it takes me 6 days of hanging out with people to feel really comfortable around them. Potential friends take note.
- Been to one mall, been to a mall (‘em all).
- We must have been here in Israel for a while, because I am no longer surprised to see everything in Hebrew or eat falafel for lunch every day.
- I am actually looking forward to the impending 12 hour flight. It has everything I want right now: air conditioning, food service, movies, and an opportunity to get some sleep.
