Moving to Israel



It never really hit me that I was moving to Israel until I was sitting on the plane as it started to take off from Toronto Pearson International Airport and watched the entire city start to shrink as the aircraft took off into the sky.

The flight was amazing!
I made friends with some interesting people, ate like a champ- I got the flight attendant to hook up 3 meals instead of 1 for dinner!

I also have a great lesson I'd like to share with you.

Lesson #1:
How not to get jet lagged
If you're flying to a country that has a different time zone plan whether or not you should sleep on the flight. Then actualize the plan! You determine whether you should sleep by knowing what time of day you arrive.

For example, I flew from Toronto on August 17th at 7:55pm to Israel. I knew I'd arrive at 2:05pm the next day.
Do you think I should have slept or stayed up for the 11 hour flight?

I slept for about 8 hours, and ofcourse I did not experience jet lag.

The organization the large group of new immigrants and I flew with hooked us up by completing paperwork with us on the flight.

When I arrived, I felt amazing! The weather was gorgeous and hot. I love the heat and when I see palm tree's I know I'm in the right place.
All my luggage arrived in one piece and my mom was there to greet me with a big smile, and a warm hug!

I'll remember that day the rest of my life.
