My sight-seeing tour of the Holy Lands is moving forward as scheduled, November 3-14, and there is still room for you to go. I have nine slots available for this once-in-a-lifetime trip to the ancient biblical and historical sites of Israel.

I have been in contact this week with the folks at Imagine Tours and with our tour guide, Anton Farah, in Nazareth, and they are reporting good news. Over the past couple of weeks, all school children have returned to their classes–the traditional thinking is that if the locals believe it’s safe for their kids, then it’s safe for tourists. Also, all the national parks in Israel are open now. Andrew, my guy at Imagine, tells me there was a 15-member tour from Canada that toured Israel two weeks ago from Dan to Beersheba, including all the sites in Galilee and Jerusalem, with no issues.

All that to say, we are moving forward as if we are taking the trip as scheduled in November. There’s no way to predict what things are going to look like in five weeks, much less five months, so we are forging ahead. Your safety is my top priority on a deal like this, and I have no hesitation moving forward at this point, knowing that we can pull out at any time citing the “war clause” in our contract, reschedule for a later date, and nobody loses anything but a few months.

Austrian Airlines has now resumed their flights to Israel, while Lufthansa and Swiss are picking theirs back up in three weeks. Now that the European Authority has approved flights to Israel, everyone believes the other European Airlines will resume their schedules–Air France, British Airways, Iberia, KLM, etc., Imagine is sending American tour groups beginning in July and they have many more besides mine that are planning to go to Israel this fall.

You can find all the details about our trip–it will be my sixth–in the official brochure, which you can find here.

If you would like to register for the trip, here’s the link.

If you have friends or family members who might be interested, forward the link to them, or let me know and I can send them a brochure in the mail. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to holler at me. I’m still very excited about this trip of a lifetime and I would love to take it with you.

Shalom!
Allan
