In 24 hours I will be boarding a plane on my way back to the US. Its been a busy final month, with lots of fun and interesting trips and some interesting and important work.... at work (there should be a better way to phrase that).
I don't have too much to say yet, its way too soon to try and sum up the trip other than to say I am incredibly happy I did this and would do it all over again if given the chance. I don't know when I will be back in Israel, but I will be back again and I will be back often.
This trip has allowed me a lot of great chances to see a much more real and personal side of the country than Birthright did, I got a chance to spend some serious time exploring Judaism and my relationship with it, and I met a ton of amazing Americans and Israelis along the way.
I will try and write some more later summing up the trip. What's next? Three-ish weeks at home in North Carolina including a wedding and hopefully lots of time with all my friends then I move to Arlington, VA and start my PhD at George Washington. I can't wait!
