7 Days till Paradise

Hyello.

Jak sie masz.

Welcome to my world. Don't be scared.

I assume everyone reading this knows very well who I am, so I'll spare you the basic introductions, and treat this just as a journal / travel log.

On the afternoon of April 10th, an important happenstance will occur in the life of one Dan Kramer. Now, normally, nothing that day could rank ahead of the Habs-Leafs game that night, especially given that it's Montreal's last game of the season, and, depending on how other games go this week, may or may not decide the fate of their playoff lives.

But alas, this April 10th is not just any April 10th. No, it's not JUST 11 days till my 24th birthday either (don't remind me... sooo old). Ok, enough with the suspense.

On April 10th, I will be boarding a flight from Montreal to Paris, France. Now, you may remember me from my Study Abroad blog when I spent a semester in France, and if you do, this phrase may sound mighty familiar. But here's where this one is different: after a layover, I will then be boarding ANOTHER flight!

Yes, that's right, your faithful hero will be getting on a second airplane, and this one to take him to Tel Aviv, Israel.

ISRAEL! AAAHHH! YAY! So excited. I'll be doing a program organized by Oranim which will have me living in the southern city of Eilat. I'll be working shifts in a classy hotel there 4 days a week, taking Hebrew and Hospitality Management courses, tutoring some English, and learning about the country and local culture.





While I've never been to Eilat, I hear lots of great things about it, so it should be pretty fan-friggin'-tastic.

I'll update later with more, but this should get the ball rolling and give you an idea of what's up / to expect!

Until next time.... Laylatov!
