20180527 Tel Aviv: I got about 5+ hours sleep, Marian a bit more I think. About 2:30 PM Israeli time they served a nice breakfast. And when we entered Israeli airspace, all had to remain seated and belted in per Israeli regulations. Landed on time around 4:30.
As soon as we got off the plane, there was a young woman to greet us. She took us to a special elevator and down to the tarmac, into a van, and around to where Passport Control is. Then she took us though a special line and into baggage claim. Wow. Great service to be whisked through very quickly. Got our bags and met Yael outside of Customs. Was told Spellers flight was delayed over an hour-and-a-half so Yael drove us to the Dan Tel Aviv and had another driver booked to take Spellers after they were zipped though entry like we were.
Room 910 overlooking the Mediterranean with the old city of Yaffo (Jaffa) to the south. Spellers are in 908 next door. Around 7:45 we walked north along the water until we found a nice spot to eat, Gazoz Beach. Sat on the deck by the sand and gentle waves. Very nice dinner, huge portions. And then walk back to hotel for showers, clothes washing, and bed. Meeting Yael at 9:00 tomorrow.
