Bless Phil Lewis's heart -- He has allowed me to persuade him to take both Jeff and me down to SeaTac right during the rush hour on Tuesday, in order that we can get there by 10:30. Gotta have that necessary time to battle the "security" queue.
First leg of the flight leaves SEA at 12.52 our time -- arrive in Tel Aviv, via Atlanta at 5:25 p.m. the next day -- ooh -- jetlag city.... bus to Jerusalem, and to the guest house at St George's College in time for dinner at 7:00 and then an organized stroll down to the Damascus Gate "to get the feel for the distance and our surroundings," as the itinerary from Fr Nigel says.
Next day, Thursday, starts with a guided lecture tour of the Old City, starting at the Western Wall. After lunch is a trip west to the Israeli Museum and [yes!!] to the Shrine of the Book -- including that Isaiah scroll that I got to work with so long ago as a senior project in college.
More about the itinerary soon.
