Packing for Israel

Are we completely ready for our trip?  Yes and no.  These suitcases are still empty.  But thanks to Steven's exceptional travel planning skills, our hotels are booked, our car rented, and our tour guide is engaged. We are also working diligently on our electronics.  Steven found several companies that will rent a sim card for your iPhone 5 that allows you to convert your U.S. cell phone to an Israeli cell phone, and avoid those astronomical long distance fees. Steven is also renting a cell phone that he'll pick up at the Ben Gurion airport, and this phone will have both an Israeli number and a U.S. number that can access this phone easily.  Will we be chatting a lot with friends in the U.S. while in Israel?  Maybe not.  There is that persnickity ten hour time difference.  But if we need to call, now we can.  We will also have a laptop and iPad. Because these days, leaving home without your digital connections is liking leaving home without your toothbrush.
