Even though I have several weeks before I leave I have begun the process of hunting down and gathering together the things I will need for my journey. Apparently the weather will be rather hot in Israel in July (who would have thought, right?) so the hunt for linen and other light material clothing is underway. While traveling is an exciting part of the journey, the thought of spending 18 hours on a plane in a tiny seat is less than inspiring...
I would love some suggestions from any experienced travelers out there!
Thank you so much for your prayers; please be praying for me that the financial support I need will come continue to come in.

not sure how i feel about the popover.
MASON! Being an experienced Mid East traveler, I could give you some advice, but then again everything I took was issued by the government and not very comfortable...but it did it's job. Also, camoflauge hides sweat stains nicely...but I don't think that would work for your purposes.
ReplyDeleteDo not forget though that once you acclimatize, the nights will feel cold, even if they are in the mid 80's so don't forget some stuff you can layer on easily.
Only other advice is get stuff that you can hand wash (not sure what type of facilities you will have access to, but it's nice to be able to wash your clothes in a sink if need be...just saying), also UnderArmor undershirts would be good too.

a neck pillow. or a rolled jacket or something. you WILL want to rest your neck on the plane.
ReplyDeletestand up and walk around on the plane.
i agree with clothes that you can wash in a sink so you can pack lighter.
i have no advice for the mid east specifically, aside from drink lots of water. BOTTLED water.
Bring yourself some really nice sunglasses, a hat, and a TON of sunscreen.
ReplyDeleteMaybe also pack some powdered gatorade to put in your water.
